This is as good as it gets for some people.
Late night partying or living in a big fancy house
Wearing expensive power suits accessorized with huge millstones around their necks
You can’t buy your way to redemption, so unfortunately this is as good as it gets for some people.
Scary thought: this life will be the best life some people live
Hopeful thought: this will be the worst life some people live
Because when we take our last breath it doesn’t stop there
I’m not a betting person but if I were and my belief of what life is like after this is right, you have a lot to lose
If your belief of what life is like after this is right, I have nothing to lose because you’re betting on nothing after this
I hope we all make it but that’s a dream and I wake up to reality every time I turn on the tv
That dream is deferred every time they persecute his name
This is as good as it gets for some people
I have The Good News for people but some people are so trapped in this life they don’t bother thinking about the next
Some people are so trapped in hanging onto bad news that the thought of there being Good News is utterly repulsive
So this is as a good as it gets for some people
This short time on Earth may be the best thing they know
I hope we all make it
But that dream is shattered every time
I open my eyes and see the world for what it is: a power hungry state
The King has the ultimate power but the Lord of the Flies has some too
Constantly flapping his wings, drawing in as many maggots to the dung pile with him
This is as good as it gets for some people
This thought woke me up out my slumber and echoed in my ears
This thought may wake others up as well
It may lay with them in bed as they try to depart from this tormenting thought for eight hours
It may tailgate their mind as they sit in bumper to bumper traffic
It may pop up in their head as they type away their day from nine to five
How could it not? A hard pill to swallow that what you’re doing now is setting you up to be living your worst life after this
It doesn’t have to be this way though
I hope my life is pointing you in the direction of the cross
I hope my life is guiding you to eternity
Because when my life is over, that’s where I’ll be. Living my best life forever.

"O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." - I Corinthians 15:55-57
