Have you ever stopped to wonder
What this life is all about?
Why you're here and where you're going
When your lease on time runs out?
Maybe you've been far too busy
Trying hard to reach your goal
Would you let me ask you kindly
Have you thought about your soul?

You may reach the highest portals
And your dreams may all come true
Wealth and fame may be your portion
And sucess may shine on you.
All your friends may sing your praises,
Not a care on you may roll
What about the great tomorrow
Have you thought about your soul?

Don't forget your days are numbered,
Though you may be riding high.
But, like all of us poor mortals,
Someday you'll just up and die
Your sucess and fame and glory
Won't be worth the bell they toll.
Let me ask you just one question
Have you thought about your soul?

If you've never thought it over
Spend a little time today
There is nothing more important
That will ever come your way
Than the joy of sins forgiven
And to know you've been made whole
In the name of Christ the Saviour
Have you thought about your soul?

For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and loose his soul (Mark8:36)

For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Rom 6:23)

Interesting subject. We work on our bodies, finances, etc. but often forget our soul. And Jesus was not warning us about hell or whatever, He was trying to tell us how to live and what is really important.

Reading a book right now called Soul Keeping by John Ortberg that talks about this. We need to nourish our soul because it is the most important thing we have,

Yes it would do Christians in the west well to turn away from individualistic modes of being and trying to figure out "how to be saved". Christ shows us all of reality through the defeat of death, not "hey do this and you will make it to heaven". So many current ideas of Christianity miss the forest for the trees.
