Life is but a minute; eternity is forever 
Where should my emphasis lie
Between the longevity of the two 
Hoping to find the answer before I die

Such a short time to find the solution 
To something that lasts forever 
It’s slowly approaching from God’s Throne on that winding Crystal River

As time marches on, our hearts grow fond of the home where we will be
It is only through faith in God that my Glorious Heavenly Home I shall see

Finding out that life is not a minute but just a fleeting second for me
Almost missing the key of Jesus that unlocked the door and set me free
