Write Your Own Ticket

Hello, all. We are like peas in a pod. Yes, even leaders and rulers of countries are, too. Sometimes, it behooves us to remember that.

Write Your Own Ticket

You say it's too bad that I'm not like you

That I could write my own ticket

If only that were true.

Well in response to your statement

I'm not working for fortune or fame

I'm just trying to work for God

Who personally knows my name

He does not care how much I own

How much “blueblood” I lack

He does love me as I am

And I am not turning back.

So he allowed me to write my own ticket

And I know that surprises you

But take a page of learning from my book

And from now on, be careful what you say and do.

Next time it might not be little old me

It might be an angel you're talking to.

Never know…

Now do you?

So, we write our own tickets

Yes, that is true

Say, what destination did you spell

When you wrote on the ticket handed to you

Did you write heaven

Or did you write ________?

Hebrews 13:2
