Life is Short

Here today and gone tomorrow

Life is short, not know when ending

Sometimes laughter, sometimes sorrow

Circumstances now are pending

No one knows when their last day be

Could be soon or be far away

It be good to now be ready

Know for sure your faith it not sway

Jesus calls us to obey Him

Die to sin and follow His ways

Obey Him and His commandments

Do what He says all of our days

Death come knocking at our doorway

Any moment of any day

Hurricanes, and floods, and fires

Many lives now do expire

Wars and riots, those who murder

Land eruptions, storms that swirl

Helicopters, planes that flying

Falling, falling, people dying

Take not for granted other days

Repent of your sins, don’t delay

And follow Jesus where He leads

Obey His word, and others feed

Live now each day as it be last

And follow Jesus, not your past

Surrender your life now to Him

And let your light now not go dim

Be His witness, share His gospel

Be a friend, be hospitable

Love each other, not be jealous

Treat each other as good fellows
