A PRICE TOO HIGH

by Bill Kochman

01-13-2017

Once there was a rich young ruler,
Tho well-meaning he called Jesus good,
He asked the Lord about Life Eternal,
Desiring to go to Heaven if he could.

The young man was very self-righteous,
He claimed he had kept all the Laws,
But what Jesus told him thereafter,
Gave that sad, poor boy great pause.

The Lord had said "Give up your riches",
Oh what a high price for him to pay,
The ruler went away with much sorrow,
No Eternal Life he gained that day.
