Vanish Instantly

Where on earth do you find meaning?

In success or in money

No matter on what you may be leaning

On friends or security.

Family or education, prestige or position

All are swallowed up in death's victory

Can't you see?- Can't you see?

They can vanish instantly

Sex and toys and eartly pleasures

Of the night and day

All the joys of earthly treasures

Of work or of play

to be realistic not foolishly optimistic

All are swallowed up in death's victory

Can't you see?- Can't you see?

They can vanish instantly

Only one thing will last

For eternity future as in the past

The unseen reality of our destiny

Only one thing will remain

One thing will be counted as gain

What we give to Jesus

Unshackles us and frees us

From a song of sin and strife

And gives eternal life!

Can't you see?- Can't you see?

They can vanish instantly

Can't you see?- Can't you see?

They can vanish instantly
