As sung by Pastor & Mrs. Buck Ledford, Glory Road, LFLP 24

THIS LIFE
(Luther Presley)

This life is like the fleeting shadows of time
So swiftly passing by
A few short years and then the evening bells chime
Appointed once to die

CHORUS
They say my days are numbered, God wills it so
How far I still must travel I do not know
My house must be in order at even tide
Ready to meet the boatman at riverside

Just like the flowers in the springtime must fade
We, too, must disappear
But if our faith in Jesus is firmly staid
We'll live again somewhere

CHORUS

Some day will come the ending of life's short race
This cross I shall lay down
Then, oh, what rapture in that wonderful place
Where peace and rest are found

CHORUS
