lyrics

If you're not ready to live for the Lord,
Then you're not ready to die for the Lord.

Pick up your cross and follow Him!

I said to myself, "I will watch what I do
And not sin in what I say.
I will hold my tongue
When the ungodly are around me.”
But as I stood there in silence—
Not even speaking of good things—
The turmoil within me grew worse.
The more I thought about it,
The hotter I got,
Igniting a fire of words:
Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered—
How fleeting my life is.
You have made my life no longer
Than the width of my hand.
My entire lifetime is just a moment to You;
At best, each of us is but a breath.

We are merely moving shadows,
And all our busy rushing ends in nothing.
We heap up wealth,
Not knowing who will spend it.
And so, Lord, where do I put my hope?
My only hope is in You.
Rescue me from my rebellion.
Do not let fools mock me.
I am silent before You; I won’t say a word,
For my punishment is from You.
Hear my prayer, O Lord!
Listen to my cries for help!
Don’t ignore my tears.
For I am Your guest—
A traveller passing through,
As my ancestors were before me.
