Where your heart is

Psalm 55:4-5 

My heart pounds in my chest.
    The terror of death assaults me.
5 Fear and trembling overwhelm me,
    and I can’t stop shaking.

 

Sniper

 

The news is full of a sniper turned loose on everyone fears.

Poof you’re here and then you’re gone ... what about destiny?

Is it not important ... where you spent your future?

Is the temporal what counts ... just a moment in agony?

 

Come on there is more to life ... than a sniper can take away.

There is more life in physical death ... than you can fathom here.

Where is your reality? ... Somewhere deep within your head

It seems so shallow for you ... since your heart is filled with fear.

 

You still don’t get the picture ... aren’t you to be forever?

If someone snuffs you out ... is it just a transformation.

If you have any doubt ... I hope you’ll meet a believer.

You know they’re few and far between in this generation.
