Poem - what do nonbelievers do...

What do nonbelievers do when they lay down to sleep?

Do they relax with milk or wine or just start counting sheep?

 Do they recall the little things that made their day a mess,

Or do they wish they could be rich and have to work much less?

I wonder if they know that when you rest at night in love,

You know your life is under guard by those who reign above.

The pain from life is just a load that each of us must bear

But we can turn it over to the Lord’s unending care.

I wonder how they sleep when life could end at any time

And they don’t have a promise of eternity in mind.

I wonder if we told them that the peace we have is real,

Would they allow the Savior in, their wounded lives to heal?

Would they respond that we are nuts and turn their eyes away?

Do they know we won’t let them off? Won’t let them get away?

Will we express our faith and love and tell them of God’s will?

Will we convince them He can help their empty hearts be filled?

Do we show them through ourwords, our actions, thoughts and deeds

That God above, the Lord of Love, supplies their every need?

Do we show that the love we have as Christians can be shared

To all who throw their selves aside – who step to Christ – who dare?

Did we hold back, or take the reins and charge to fight the fight

That keeps them tossing, turning, as they try to rest at night?

If they became believers, their minds could rest in peace

Knowing that through God above, anxiety will cease.

Do we help them see that God alone, in life their souls will keep?

What DO nonbelievers do when they lay down to sleep?
