The great thing about this song is the conviction displayed by the author. He is positive that he’s lived his life correctly and when he dies, there will be nothing that he needs to regret or apologize for. I wish for everyone to live their in a way that they knew that they had done all they could, lived according to their principles and beliefs, and that when it does come time for them to die, that they can look back on their life and know that it was well spent. I also hope that at the end of my life, I will be able to do the same. I think that is part of what it means to be a man. To stand for your principles, do the right thing, and not live in fear.
“Prepare yourself, you know it’s a must.
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He’s gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky”
