Will Christ be my firm footing, or a footnote in my life?

Regardless, He’ll be “all in all” when ended is the strife

I’ll realize fully then that He’s the One worth living for

No matter if I knew Him prior to passing through death’s door

*

If I don’t bend the knee in worship of His Name below

My “knee shall bow” when from above He comes, winged hosts in tow

I want to pray, “My Lord and God!” with Thomas while I breathe

And then I’ll want to call Him so when this sad world I leave

*

If Christ is not the Lord of all I have, think, do and say

Then He is not my Lord at all! And I am “gone astray” 

If Christ is not my everything while to this earth I cling

Will He be so when at the end this mortal coil I fling?
