God's Game

I lay motionless upon my old bed,
Seeing that life is too short and too fast.
My friends and fam'ly have been so long dead,
But I'll see them soon; I'll see them at last.

My will has been written so long ago
As was my heir chosen from those I love.
My time left is running quite short, I know,
When my time ends, I leave for far above.

But am I ready to take to the air,
To return back to God's welcoming hand?
Death is life's only rule, the game is fair.
My game is done; I'll depart from this land.

At last, I will see heaven's pearl-strewn gate,
And there, up there, I will await my fate.
