Only One Life
Only one life, yes only one
Soon will its fleeting hours be done
Then in that day, my Lord to meet
And stand before His judgement seat
This only life, the still small voice
Gently pleads for a better choice
Bidding me selfish aims to leave
And to God's holy will to cleave
Only one life, twill soon be past
Only what's done for Christ will last
And when the age comes to an end, we'll sing our song
Our great amen
Only one life, a few brief years
Each with its burdens, hopes, and fears
Each with its clays I must fulfill
Living for self or in His will
Only one life, twill soon be past
Only what's done for Christ will last
And when the age comes to an end
We'll sing our song, our great amen
Give me, Father, a purpose deep
In joy or sorrow, Thy Word to keep
Faithful and true, whatever the strife
Pleasing Thee in my daily life
Oh let my love with fervor burn
And from the world now let me turn
I'll live for Thee and Thee alone
To bring Thee pleasure on Thy throne
Only one life, twill soon be past
Only what's done for Christ will last
And when the age comes to an end
We'll sing our song, our great amen
Only one life, yes only one
Now let me say "Thy will be done"
And when at last I'll hear the call
I know I'll say "Twas worth it all"
Soon will its fleeting hours be done
Then in that day, my Lord to meet
And stand before His judgement seat
This only life, the still small voice
Gently pleads for a better choice
Bidding me selfish aims to leave
And to God's holy will to cleave
Only one life, twill soon be past
Only what's done for Christ will last
And when the age comes to an end, we'll sing our song
Our great amen
Only one life, a few brief years
Each with its burdens, hopes, and fears
Each with its clays I must fulfill
Living for self or in His will
Only one life, twill soon be past
Only what's done for Christ will last
And when the age comes to an end
We'll sing our song, our great amen
Give me, Father, a purpose deep
In joy or sorrow, Thy Word to keep
Faithful and true, whatever the strife
Pleasing Thee in my daily life
Oh let my love with fervor burn
And from the world now let me turn
I'll live for Thee and Thee alone
To bring Thee pleasure on Thy throne
Only one life, twill soon be past
Only what's done for Christ will last
And when the age comes to an end
We'll sing our song, our great amen
Only one life, yes only one
Now let me say "Thy will be done"
And when at last I'll hear the call
I know I'll say "Twas worth it all"
