If life was a university
What would people major in
In this school before eternity
Where would mankind begin
Some would major in bitterness
With a minor in offence
Stuck in a spiritual wilderness
Living at their own expense
Several would major in pride
Taking a minor in lust
They would be their own guide
In themselves they would trust
Others would major in fear
With a minor in unbelief
They would let the devil steer
Their future robbed by the thief
Some would major in anger
And take a minor in rage
Allowing love to be a stranger
They would turn mercy's page
Some would major in self righteousness
Deceived by their own pride
In their haughty diocese
They would go run and hide
Some would major in greed
And minor in selfishness
Their flesh they would let lead
As wisdom becomes foolishness
Some would study unforgiveness
Consumed with resentment
Under the mask of being religious
Yet having no contentment
Some would pursue knowledge
Others would go after wisdom
But several would waste their college
And forever play the victim
If life was a university
In all the hardship and suffering
Through the pain and adversity
Would we live overcoming
In school what would we retain
Though no one would applaud
Would we lose in order to gain
Would we live our life for God
Would we major in prayer
And in seeking God's face
Would we cast our every care
Would we learn of His grace
What you major in matters
In this one chance to live
When all around you scatters
You have just one life to give
