APPOINTMENTS

We are appointed in this life
to take on special tasks,
and there are rules to follow
if this blessing is to last.

When we go to see the doctor
it is best that we prepare,
the answers to the questions
that we know he’ll ask us there.

When exam time nears in every school
this appointed time to find,
how all the students have progressed
and those who’ve wasted time.

At every precious moment
there is something to be learned,
don’t squander time for it’s God’s gift
never to be spurned.

The last appointment we must keep
no one can pass it by,
when we’re in the court of Jesus
and we meet Him eye to eye.

It will be best if we’ve prepared
done our homework so to say,
this exam will be our final one
for it will be judgement day.
