As I Lay

I never thought I would die so soon
This world for me
Was nothing extravagant, nothing over the    
   moon
This was never my forever home, only
   temporary.
You see, a sinner lies in this ground
I didn't deserve any kind of Heaven
Although my Jesus died for me on that
   mound
At times His voice I could not hear, the
   noise did deafen.
I hope and pray
My legacy lives on
I did the best that I could in my own way
I loved well, worked hard and with Jesus I 
   made a bond.
So as my body turns to ash
The beauty will fade away
Memories last, nothing to rehash
Only God has the power as I lay.
