God’s decision is final and true,No one can change it, no matter what we doYour time in flesh is now served,Your spirit returns to where it’s deservedWhere, we don’t know for sure,It’s too late to cry, our hearts unsurePlease be prepared, for it can come anytime,Death, the end of life’s…

God se besluit is geneem,En dit kan verander word deur geen.Jou tyd is gedien in vlees,Nou, keer jy terug na gees. Wie weet waarheen.Dit is te laat, om nou daaroor te ween.Wees asseblief voorbereid,Want dit kan gebeur, te enige tyd.Al wat oorbly van jou op aarde, is die steen,En onder,…
