If I Die Before I Wake Poem by Qiniso Mogale

If I die before I wake
If dawn breaks and I breathe no more
If this life goes out of this body
If I'm no longer in this world
If death strikes before dawn
I pray that I would have completed my race.

If I die before I wake
I pray I would have fulfilled God's purpose
If I die before I wake
I pray I would have apologized to all I've wronged
I pray that my dreams would have been fulfilled
I pray that I would have attained God's grace and mercy
I pray that I would have led many to Christ.

If I die before I wake
Like Apostle Paul I hope I can say with authority
that 'I have fought a good fight '
I hope I will face God with confidence on Judgement day
I hope I will will be among those who Christ will declare He is proud of.

If I die before I wake
If I breathe no more
I pray I would not have lived in vain
I pray I will live a legacy
I pray that it will not be said that I was born, ate, slept and then died.
