We're on this side of heaven

But we won't be here too long

Passing like a summer breeze

In the lyrics of a song.

T'will be over before we know it

The years are slipping away

The days of youth have passed us by

Now part of yesterday.

The hands of fate keep ticking on

Time has no sympathy

It never stopped for Jesus

It won't stop for you and me

We do not know the hour in which.

Our Master will call us away

To another dimension unknown to us

To live with Him one day

Eternity awaits for us

But the gate's not very wide

Only a few will get to pass through

To live on the other side
