UNDERTAKE FOR ME

There are moments in our life when we greatly fear;

Happiness is gone; daily our eyes are filled with tears.

Bitterness of the soul is felt and with it great sorrow;

Life seems likely to end soon; there will be no tomorrow.

 

“In the prime of life I shall go to the gates of Sheol…”

This is sobering and brings trembling to the Soul!

The heart feels oppressed for all hope seems gone;

The thought of death causes the heart to feel forlorn!

 

“My life span is gone…” Another sobering thought;

How does one cope when the heart is over-wrought?

Despair is felt deep within the defeated soul;

Only God can restore and make one whole!

 

“O LORD, undertake for me”- this is the wisest prayer;

Only when the heart is humbled will one find God “there.”

Only God can undertake for us when we are close to death;

The Lord can yet show mercy and return to us our Health.
