“There is but a step between me and death” (1 Samuel 20:3). “Thy Word is true from the beginning: and every one of Thy righteous judgments endureth forever” (Psalm 119:60). “They that seek the LORD understand all things” (Proverbs 28:5). “But this I say, brethren, the time is short… use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away” (1 Corinthians 7:29-31).
How
frail is this fleeting life
Which
is sustained from breath to breath!
We’re
cut off soon as with a knife;
There’s
but a step between our death.
In
contrast to this life so frail,
The
Word of God endures forever!
Its
promises shall never fail
With
blessings time nor foe can sever!
By
seeking Christ, we understand
His
Sovereign order in all things.
Praise
God! Our times are in His hand
Who
rules supreme as King of kings.
We
should remember, nonetheless,
Our
time is very short on earth,
And
every moment we possess
Should
be redeemed for what it’s worth.
O
Lord, we see this world’s fashion
Is
like a vapor in the steam,
Yet
we are called to have compassion
On
souls that You would yet redeem.
We know, Lord, that our life is short
And
our eternity is long.
We
know the Gospel’s true report,
And
every other way is wrong.
Lord,
in this sureness, make us wise
To
show the shortness of our days,
To
preach the truth that opens eyes,
And
to make known Your saving ways.
