How frail is humanity! How short is life, how full of trouble! We blossom like a flower and then wither. Like a passing shadow, we quickly disappear (Job 14:1-2; NLT).
We’re here
For just a little space,
Weighed down by trouble,
Time, and place.
Our task: to grow
Like Christ in grace,
So one day,
We will see His face.
They will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads (Revelation 22:4; NLT).
