Would still be alive...

by Matthew Schut   Jan 23, 2011


A man lost at what to do in life
Sees nothing to fight for
He wakes to another empty day
Thought there was something more

He was always told that he was worthless
That no one could ever love him
He has gone through his whole life wanting
Wanting more than his life full of sin

Drinks away the pain each day
Of being rejected from his family
Doesn't see why he can't be loved
But he believes that is how life should be

Each day the same thing happens at work
Gets yelled at for everything he tries to do
The boss says how much of a failure he is
And says isn't there anything you can do

He goes home each night wishing for something
Wishing that he could find someone to clear it all away
To take him out of this life of pain
And bring happiness to his every day

He drinks down another beer and decides this is the end
He goes outside and grabs a rope
Ties it to the tree above his house
Puts the rope around his head and takes another hit of dope

He says godbye to the pathetic life on earth
And jumps off and in seconds he is gone
He now stands in Heaven in front of God
My son, it has been so long

You never heard me calling out to you
I tried getting someone to talk to you about me
But no one listened to my command
But now you are here with me for eternity

I had so much planned for you on earth
I wanted you to save so many more
I guess you took things into your own hands
I wish someone would have talked to you before

Well, welcome home son
I love you and I was always there
You just never knew who I was
But now you have lots of people that love you and care

Back at earth, people wonder why he jumped
What could have caused him to feel that way
But if someone would have told him about Christ
He would still be alive on that day
