Life After Birth
We work so hard to learn so much
And soon forget what we knew
We seek to know and yet lose touch
With what is real and what is true
So quickly it all slips away
So quickly it is lost
And when we come to the end of life
We find life unequal to such a cost
This is the world's wisdom
this is its fruit and way
This is contrary to who we are
This is a place where we cannot stay
Walk in faith in the fact that He knows You
Walk in faith in God's mighty acts
Walk in faith in the unseen promise
With God promises are eternal fact.
For Jesus dwells- vibrant and well
In us he is alive
This is our only hope of glory
And this shall be our drive
To know Him in His fulness
And to make him known to men
He is the beginning of our days
not just the reward at its end
This is the world's wisdom
this is its fruit and way
This is contrary to who we are
This is a place where we cannot stay
Walk in faith in the fact that He knows You
Walk in faith in God's mighty acts
Walk in faith in the unseen promise
With God promises are eternal fact.
