Always loved this one, ever since I first heard it on Jerry Falwell's Old Time Gospel Hour radio program, circa 1985! It is as stirring as it is truthful. Thank you SO much for posting.
Only One Life Lanny Wolfe It matters so little how much you may own The places you’ve been or the people you’ve known For it all comes to nothing when place at His feet It’s nothing for Jesus, just memories to keep You may take all the treasures from far away land And take all the riches you can hold in your hand And take all the pleasures your money can buy But what will you have when it’s your time to die? * Only one life so soon it will pass Only what’s done for Christ will last Only one chance to do His will So give to Jesus all your days, it’s the only life that pays When you recall you have but one life The days pass so swiftly, the months come and go The years melt away like a new fallen snow Spring turns to summer, and summer to fall Autumn brings winter, and death comes to call

Ephesians 2:8
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:”
King James Version (KJV
"Only one life, ’twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last."
-C.T. Studd
What sobering reminder that this life is so fleeting.
Such a wonderful old hymn....so true!
Marietta’s voice is exceptional on this.
Only One Life
Lanny Wolfe
It matters so little how much you may own
The places you’ve been or the people you’ve known
For it all comes to nothing when place at His feet
It’s nothing for Jesus, just memories to keep
You may take all the treasures from far away land
And take all the riches you can hold in your hand
And take all the pleasures your money can buy
But what will you have when it’s your time to die?
* Only one life so soon it will pass
Only what’s done for Christ will last
Only one chance to do His will
So give to Jesus all your days, it’s the only life that pays
When you recall you have but one life
The days pass so swiftly, the months come and go
The years melt away like a new fallen snow
Spring turns to summer, and summer to fall
Autumn brings winter, and death comes to call
Thanks for this - never heard of this group before
