"Behold, Thou hast made my days an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before Thee" (Psalm 39:5). "These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show unto His servants the things which must shortly be done" (Revelation 22:6).
God has accounted the years of my age,
As virtually nothing in His searching eyes.
How short is our show on life's transient stage!
Surely in vain do we think otherwise!
How fleeting is time as eternity nears,
Though we may think that our days have been long!
But days become weeks, and weeks become years,
And soon we conclude that our viewpoint was wrong.
The days of my lifetime shall shortly conclude;
What shall be shown for their toil and strife?
Let this be the one thing my heart has pursued:
To live for my Savior who ransomed my life!
The plan of the ages shall shortly be done.
Soon we shall look on our Lord face to face.
It only makes sense that Priority One
Should be to surrender to God by His grace.
