Like a speck of sand upon the shore
Our lives they are dictated;
Surrounded by eternity
And truly understated.
The brevity of life;
Like a flower here today,
And blown away tomorrow
With very little of remains.
Do we reflect oftentimes
That there is no guarantee,
We’ll view another sunset
Or that tomorrow we will see?
It’s only by God’s grace
That our eyes do see the day,
And that there’s another opportunity
To serve in many ways.
Life is like a dressing room
For the eternal cause and ways,
To establish spiritual muscles
So steadfast love and hope remains.
Like a flower in its glory
Is our beauty in its prime,
And the kiss of wind that blows our petals
Will come so we may be refined.
Refined to build endurance
Irrespective of being swayed;
To establish our roots firmly in Christ
So true faith it will remain.
The winds and storms will come
But the sunsets always do,
And God’s rainbow with its colours
Will remind us of what’s true.
Are we ready if our soul
Was required of us tonight,
Or has fear gripped our heart
Where we cannot see His light?
It never is too late
So long as we have breath;
May Jesus be our Savior;
Our anchor and our safety net.

“Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, and my age is nothing before You; Certainly every man at his best state is but vapour.” Psalm 39:5
