about

Musically:
A fast moving bluesy / rock / pop song
Context:
A cautionary tale for those who 'store up treasures on earth' - money, influence, power perhaps or obsess about health with a view to prolonging life because in the end this is futile. For what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.

There’s even a parable about this in the bible – Luke 12 v 16ff

lyrics

Chorus
All you thought you had its gone
Like a puff of smoke though you try to cling on
All you thought you had its gone
Gone

Verse 1
Time has its way of catching up with you
Might get one chance you might even get two
When you’re offered the chance what will you do
Before its gone

Verse 2
When the choice is there what will you do
Eternal life that’s too good to be true
A life full of joy and peace with You
Has it gone?

Verse 3
The snow falls down on the winter of life
Though your head still thinks its spring
you can still find spring in a brand new life
Before your chance is gone

Middle 8
It’s never too late ……repeats
