Chasing shadows, building homes,
But in the end, what will we find?
Life is short, but eternity's kind.

Life is short, eternity long,
Better prepare for it, where we belong,
For riches fade, and power wanes,
In the new earth, our hope remains.

Forsake the wealth, the fame, the gold,
For treasures true, in Heaven's fold,
For what's to come, beyond this land,
Life is short, but the promise grand.

Life is short, but the promise grand.
Life is short, but the promise grand.
Life is short, but the promise grand.
Life is short, but the promise grand.
Life is short, but the promise grand.
Life is short, but the promise grand.

On the new earth, where tears will cease,
In the presence of the Prince of Peace,
Where glory shines forever bright,
Prepare our hearts, for that endless light.

Life is short, eternity long,
Better prepare for it, where we belong,
For riches fade, and power wanes,
In the new earth, our hope remains.

So let us fix our eyes above,
On the eternal, on His love,
For life is short, but eternity's embrace,
In His kingdom, we find our place.

Life short!
