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
