The Days of Our Lives

Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end

When beauty fades and time stands still
All has been stripped away, what remains is will
The mindset to move forward, continue to love and grow
Determination to stand tall, releasing that inner glow

Our lives are but a small piece on much larger scale
We only see the present, but eternity will prevail
It’s so hard to let go of those whom we cherished dear
As the days pass, making memories, our end continues to draw near

We spend so much time toiling about material things, but it all is so shallow
Loss shifts your perspective, for possessions are hollow
What matters, what really matters is faith, hope and love
For this is what will remain, and this is enough

Forgiving one another, not getting easily offended
Working on relationships that need to be mended
Laying my head down in peace is my number one goal
Did I put others before myself, caring for their soul

This will all pass away, remember what’s important
For we never know when someone we loves life will be shortened
And when it seems unbearable, trust me it will
Mediate on eternity, quiet your mind and be still

For we are dead much longer than we are alive
We build our treasures in heaven, for when eternity will arrive

Cherish every moment, this beautiful life is a gift
Like sand in a hourglass, it sifts through quite quick
