One Life (feat. Mike Burns)

One life will pass away
Am I living my life for what lasts, today?

Have you ever been weighed down, feeling scattered?
Trying to climb, but life feels only full of ladders?
Social media disputes and foolish chatter
Got me reflecting about what truly matters
The other night I was with my Uncie and I cried
He told me that for 47 years he worked and strived
His bank and social security have a lot inside
Now the doctors say he only has weeks to be alive
He said he should have stopped earlier and retired
Spent more time to travel with his family and wife
Focused on faith and given God his life
I pray for him to survive, yet one day we all will die
My Uncie did choose life and God's grace
Lived generously and put smile on my face
I hear the wisdom he gave for our sake
One day we give an account to God, but not from our bank

We have only one life that will pass away
Am I living my life for what lasts, today?
We have only one life that will pass away
Am I living my life for what lasts, today?

We desire a place with no fear or pain
Where the storms of life are made clear as day
God offers the peace of heaven near to stay
One day He will wipe every tear away
Death shows our frailty and clear decay
Yet we're blessed with breath and are here today
Why carry hurt and bitterness and veer astray?
With healing and forgiveness Jesus shows He's the way
He gives hope, even when our heart's sore
No matter how broken we are, or how hardcore
Heaven is what every heart longs for
Human love fails us and we need God's more
His love lasts: patient and all pure
When everything else collapses like cardboard
We have a hole in our lives, that's what God's for
And He uses these moments to knock on our heart's door

We have only one life that will pass away
Am I living my life for what lasts, today?
We have only one life that will pass away
Am I living my life for what lasts, today?

Each day all these hours are rollin' by me
So often I've forgotten, so Lord remind me
To love my fam, those beside me and hold them tightly
And not just focus on when my phone notifies me
May I love those who bother me and foes that fight me
Because it's easy to only love those who like me
Life's too short to know the right thing and hope it might be
Step out in love with forgiveness glowing brightly
Uncie, you've showed us much on the way
Let's live our one life now, not "one day"
It's much more than build a 401k
Go to church on Sunday, and hope in "some day"
I'm grateful for all the special memories
For every precious blessing we get to see
As much as I wish you were here next to me
I see your beautiful family and know you left a legacy

We have only one life that will pass away
Am I living my life for what lasts, today?
We have only one life that will pass away
Only one life twill soon be past
Only what's done in Christ shall last

One life will pass away
Am I living my life for what lasts, today?
One life will pass away
Only one life twill soon be past
Only what's done in Christ shall last
