You can live to be 100 but just
Gale Acuff
before you die you’ll probably want more
life but it will be too late, the only
cure therefore for that is Eternity
and at church and Sunday School they say life
down here on Earth prepares you for life up
in Heaven but to get eternal
life you have to die but after that there’s
no more dying, you’re off the hook, at least
if you believe in God and Jesus and
the Holy Ghost, I’m not so sure about
those other religions but it’s likely
they’re phony, too—if folks couldn’t believe
in something no matter how silly then
they’d be lost and never afraid to die.
