Appointment......

There is an appointment we will keep
No option of cancellation
We may not ask for another date
Or pose a grand explanation
Of the who, the what and when or why
We cannot come today
For our appointment in the sky
Is not within our say

There is an appointment we will keep
And no amount of pleading
No best excuses in the world
Can exempt us from heeding
When at last our name He'll call
And He stands at our door
It will be time to leave it all
For Time will be no more

There is an appointment we will keep
No one falls through the cracks
The call may come while we’re asleep
Or busy, or relaxed
Each of us God formed in love
Each one formed by His power
Some day He’ll call for each of us
But none can know the hour

There is an appointment we will keep
But one we need not fear
The Shepherd knows each of His sheep
And longs to draw us near
For this appointment that awaits
Is but the Shepherd’s beckoning
The sheep will enter at His gate
In that great Day of Reckoning

I am the good Shepherd.
I know My sheep and
My sheep know Me. John 10:14
