This whole world is just temporary
Everything is just passing me by
One day you’re here
The next you’re not with me
And all the while I am lost in the temporary
The pressures of this day pretend to thrill me
Another mountain scaled today
And while I’m conq’ring
I am missing
The precious little lives that are right at my feet
Can I get it into my head
Without the pain of death
The only things that matter at all
Are made in the image of you
Given the privlege to do
Life in you
This whole life is just slipping away
Tomorrow is never a guarantee
I can’t hold onto any piece of it
Cause it’s only a shadow – it’s just temporary
Can I get it into my head
Without the pain of death
The only things that matter at all
Are made in the image of you
Given the privlege to do
Life in you
Lord open my eyes
Wider than I thought possible
Help me realize
That our hope is not temporary
That you are not temporary
That I am not tempoary
Pain is just temporary
Our hope is in you
Our hope is in you
Give me hope
Beyond the temporary
Lift my eyes
From this temporary
Today

(the tune and words will be solidified later, but this is what was coming to mind today. my friend joe (who already sounds almost world-famous if your frame of reference is this blog…) lost his sister-in-law (was his wife’s brother’s wife) to cancer yesterday. life must be hard there. it certainly made me appreciate that i got to wake up with my wife today. and made me realize how life is so temporary. thank you jesus for the hope of more.
Concert was good tonight. Lots of people. Believers and non-believers alike… having fun and hopefully experiencing God in a very public community event. Very cool. more later… (probably should check out our main web page for more on that… if I ever get to writing our news page!!! http://www.basicmm.com — http://www.basicmm.com/news
