You can exercise,
every day at the gym
you can lift weights
to keep fit and trim.
But, if you’re not living,
a Godly life . . .
your soul will experience
eternal strife.
You can go to a clubhouse,
in the day or at night
you can keep your physic
noticeable strong and tight.
But, if you’re not working,
out your own salvation
you could be headed
for eternal damnation.
You can run a marathon,
or any other race
you can groom yourself
to take first place.
But, if you’re not training,
each day for Godliness
you just might miss out on . . .
having everlasting bliss!
~~~~~~~~
“For bodily exercise profiteth little:
but godliness is profitable unto all
things, having promise of the life
that now is, and of that which is to come.
King James Version
