There will be a last time
When our glances they will meet;
When hands are clasped together
With a touch that is so sweet.
There’s a last time that we share –
The beauty that abounds,
Where the smiles and the laughter
Become a memory that’s found.
There is a final moment
If we get to say goodbye,
Before our breath is taken
When that time will come to die.
And many times we take for granted
Experiences we do share,
Thinking that they’ll last forever…
Until they are not there.
There’s a last time for everything
And we never really know,
So let’s treasure our encounters –
Before it’s time to go.
Because the last time will come;
It’s just a matter of how and when;
Let’s forgive and live in peace;
Be restored and make amends.
Just like a thief it comes
When the last time it will be;
Let’s ensure we’re forgiven
When our Saviour’s face we see.
“Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” James 4:14
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Matthew 6:14-15
“He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.”
Colossians 1:13-14
“All flesh is as grass and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the word of the LORD endures forever.”
1 Peter 1:24
