Only One Life - Part 1

[Bob Wille (Family)]

Only one life, Twill soon Pass
[Part 1]
Two little lines I heard one day,
Traveling along life’s busy way;
Bringing conviction to my heart,
And from my mind would not depart;
Only one life, twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.
Only one life, yes only one,
Soon will its fleeting hours be done;
Then, in ‘that day’ my Lord to meet,
And stand before His Judgement seat;
Only one life, ’twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.
Only one life, the still small voice,
Gently pleads for a better choice
Bidding me selfish aims to leave,
And to God’s holy will to cleave;
Only one life, ’twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last.

C.T. Studd, a missionary to Africa,
died at the age of 70 on July 16, 1931

Hello Bob;

Thank you for sharing Only One Life - Part 1. C.T. Studd put a lot of weight in this poem as he served a tough ministry.

God bless you, Bob, and your family.

Thank you, Bob. Part 2 will be tomorrow. I pray both parts are meaningful to many.
