LIFE JOURNEY
Life is just a stopping place
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place
Along the road to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things
But we were never meant to stay.
Our destination is a place
Far greater than we know,
For some the journey's quicker
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace
Together with the Lord.
