My son looks up as we embrace
   The look of love upon his face
So young, fragile, full of hope
   Will I be there to help him cope?

Will He learn of God's Love?
   Will we meet again in Heaven above?
Before this world comes to an end
   Will he find Jesus, his one true Friend?

And what of His death upon that cross?
   The day God suffered his greatest loss
Will my son ever see
   His life, in Jesus, set free?

Through the gift offered by the Lamb
   Who came to bring us life again
This dream is beginning to dim
   As I hear the Doctor say, "We can't save him!!!"

The head-on crash came from nowhere
   But what of my family, how will they fair
I realized I'm loosing my life
   Then the thought hit me like a knife

Did I show them all of God's love?
   Or was I just wearing Him like a glove?
One I put on to look like I should
   When, for the right crowd, I want to look good

Last week did we seek to know more of Him?
   Worshiping, studying and singing great Hymns?
No, we just watched TV
   About Godless people, worthless to see

Hardly talking for our shows were on
   Now my chances are all gone
What a waist of time my life had been
   If only I could do it over again

I've failed and it may cost him his life
   I'll never see him again, nor my wife
For God has trusted me with his most valuable treasure
   And I failed Him beyond any measure

         James Corwin
