Life's Purpose: A Poem by Nelda Young

Keep your feet on the ground

For God said pride goes before a fall

When your head gets too big

You forget what you should recall

You strive and work for it all

Be careful; you should listen for God's call

Open your hearts & do your best

God has promised to give us rest

God's calls now through His word

Not in the past as others have heard

Jesus is the Savior who calls us to be God's friend

Being washed in His blood though baptism pleases Him

So keep your feet on the ground

Love your brother as yourself

Let not any ill will or meanness in you be found

We cannot hide our thoughts, words, or actions from God

God's love is better that all the rest

And each day we are continually blessed

Dad by day He grants us mercy

With the hope & peace of eternity
