Only One Life

Whether so little

Or how much you may own,

The places you've been to

and the people you've known,

For it all comes to nothing

when placed at His feet

It's nothing to Jesus,

just memories to keep.

You may take all the treasures

from far away lands,

And take all the riches

you can hold in your hands,

and take all the pleasures

that riches can buy,

But what will you have

When it's your time to die?

Only one life so soon it will pass.

Only what's done for Christ will last.

Only one chance to do His will,

So give to Jesus all your days,

It's the only life that pays,

When you recall you have but one life.

The days pass so quickly,

The months come and go.

The years melt away

like the new fallen snow,

The spring turns to summer,

Summer to fall.

Autumn brings winter,

Then death comes to call.
