This Life We Have How Short It Is

This Life We Have…  How Short It Is!

This life we have.  How short it is!
We don’t know how long we’re going to live!

There’s one thing we all need to keep in mind.
Our life exists for just a short period of time!

From the cradle to the grave.  It’s very brief.
Do we think about what really lies “beneath?”

There’s more than being buried
 6 feet under the ground.
There’s an eternity to think of!  Look around!

All that we have, or can ever wish to obtain.
When it’s all over...  What have you gained?

There’s a God in heaven
 who’s given us a chance.
To receive his son Jesus.  
Whatever the circumstance!

Won’t you accept his gift? 
 His offer is freely given!
He can totally transform you 
and the way you’re livin’!

What profits a man if he gains the world, 
but loses his soul?
It’s only the blood of Jesus, 
that can make you whole!

He is and will always be the choice 
for you to receive!
An abundant life with him… 
 You can achieve!
