Only One Life

By Lanny Wolfe

It matters so little

How much you may own

The places you've been

Or people that you know

For it all comes to nothing

When placed at His feet

It's nothing to Jesus

Just memories to me

You can take all the treasures

From far away lands

And take all the riches

you can hold in your hands

And take all the pleasures

Your riches can buy

But will it help

When it's your time to die

CHORUS

Only one life

So soon it will pass

Only what's done for Christ will last

Only one chance to do His will

So give to Jesus all you days

It's the only life that pays

When you recall

You have but one life

The days pass so swiftly

The months come and go

The years melt away

Like new falling snow

Spring turns to summer

Then summer to fall

Autumn brings winter

Then death come to all

Only one life

So soon it will pass

Only what's done for Christ will last

Only one chance to do His will

So give to Jesus all you days

It's the only life that pays

When you recall

You have but one life 

We Have This Moment Today

by John & Barbara Tubbs

Hold tight to the sounds of the music of living,
Happy songs from the laughter of children at play;
Take my hand as we run through the sweet fragrant meadows,
Making memories of what was today.

We have this moment to hold in our hands,
And to touch as it slips through our fingers like sand;
Yesterday's gone, and tomorrow may never come,
But we have this moment today.

You hear that tiny voice? It's my not so tiny daughter,
Who's still calling for me to stop and listen to what she has to say;
And my little son running there down that hillside,
May never be quite like today.

We have this moment to hold in our hands,
And to touch as it slips through our fingers like sand;
Yesterday's gone, and tomorrow may never come,
But we have this moment today.
