lyrics

THE time is short ere all that live
Shall hence depart, their God to meet:
And each a strict account must give,
At Jesu’s awful judgement seat.

The time is short, oh, who can tell
How short his time below may be?
Today on earth his soul may dwell,
Tomorrow in eternity.

The time is short; sinner beware!
Nor squander these brief hours away?
Oh flee to Christ by faith and prayer,
Ere yet shall close this fleeting day.

The time is short; ye saints rejoice!
Your Saviour-Judge will quickly come;
Soon shall you hear the Bridegroom’s voice
Invite you to His heavenly home.

The time is short, ere time shall cease,
Eternity be ushered in,
And death shall die, and joy and peace
O'er the new earth benignant reign.

The whole album is a great idea with lots of good execution. The track "Arise, Shine, for Your Light has Come" is a stunning standout. Our church used it four services in a row! Kent Reeder
