Life is but a shadow
that soon will disappear.
Born yesterday, tomorrow — gone!
Like we were never here.
Remind me, Lord, how brief life is;
that heaven is my goal;
that temporary things aren’t worth
the forfeit of my soul.
Life is but a moment
that never can suffice.
We’re foreigners — just passing through,
ambassadors for Christ.
Lord, help me not become attached
to those things I can see.
Instead, by faith, love things unseen
that last eternally.
