Have You?

Have you seen the sandman?

Have you seen the end of days?

Have you contemplated death

Or Have you stared at crashing waves.

Have you thought of death

and how it comes

to every one that breathes,

Have you wondered at our purpose

Are we frail as fallen leaves?

Have you realized that ultimately

Nothing matters much,

Have you seen that great importance

Can come from simple touch?

Have you thought of how

A world of chaos

struggles to entice?

Have you seen how little we all matter

no more significant than mice.

Have you realized that it takes a something

bigger than this stuff

to make it all important

to bring us more than pomp and fluff?

Have you sought the God of all the world

Have you heard His people call

Have you seen the messages He's left

on this tiny dusty ball?

Have you made the choice to die today

that you might live in Him?

Have you emptied out your heart

That He may fill it to the brim?

Have you contemplated pointlessness

Have you seen this dull world's lies

Have you seen the light from God above

Has He torn the world's disguise?

Has He made you a new creature,

different now and ever more,

Has He shown you precious glimpses

of all He has in store?

Has He shown you how true purpose

Exists only in eternity

Has He cast aside your fear and doubt,

Replaced with certainty.

Have you?

Has He?

Have We?
