| As A Shadow |
| There is a saying, my life is as a shadow or as doth the wind blow. Just as a vapour, it will quickly turn, and we watch it go. We sometimes feel we have forever, even though we are mere man, But sometimes the winds doth come and go as quickly as it can. Like the wind we live fast and think, surely there is no end to the life. As a vapour it is but a puff, then it is gone as is the life's strife. But I ask you as did old Job, is there not an appointed time on earth? It is as the eagle after prey, the man has not much time after his birth. Compare to forever in the Heavens above, we have but a mere day To roam this earth; to fulfill our natures longings, a puff and away. We are as the fast fleets of ships that sail the seas ~ that come and go. But though this life is a puff and gone, we have a Savior whom we know. He will sail the ship to bring us home, where we'll be forever more. No more wondering, about the vapours that sweep around our door. Our days are swifter than a weavers shuttle, remember out time is short. Should not we live and love our Christ Jesus with all our heart? One day here, tomorrow as the ships that sail the ocean, gone forever. So let us live the fullest life for our Lord that we can, depart Him, never. Though the days pass as the swiftest ships and the eagle to its prey Let us ever remember our Savior, knowing He'll come for us that day. |
