            Only One Life by C.T. Studd 08/18/2009

            C.T. Studd was a missionary to China, India and Africa. He was so passionate, driven and sold-out for the lost that he even caused contrary over his attitude towards worldly things. C.T. Studd greatly encouraged missionaries to just trust in God for finances in response to God's calling to them. C.T. Studd pioneered what is now called 'Worldwide Evangelisation for Christ'.
            This poem really hit me hard when I read it and so I wanted to share it with you.

            Only One Life

            Two little lines I heard one day, Traveling along life’s busy way;
            Bringing conviction to my heart, And from my mind would not depart;
            Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

            Only one life, yes only one, Soon will its fleeting hours be done;
            Then, in ‘that day’ my Lord to meet, And stand before His Judgment seat;
            Only one life,’ twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

            Only one life, the still small voice, Gently pleads for a better choice
            Bidding me selfish aims to leave, And to God’s holy will to cleave;
            Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

            Only one life, a few brief years, Each with its burdens, hopes, and fears;
            Each with its clays I must fulfill, living for self or in His will;
            Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

            When this bright world would tempt me sore, When Satan would a victory score;
            When self would seek to have its way, Then help me Lord with joy to say;
            Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

            Give me Father, a purpose deep, In joy or sorrow Thy word to keep;
            Faithful and true what e’er the strife, Pleasing Thee in my daily life;
            Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

            Oh let my love with fervor burn, And from the world now let me turn;
            Living for Thee, and Thee alone, Bringing Thee pleasure on Thy throne;
            Only one life, “twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

            Only one life, yes only one, Now let me say, “Thy will be done”;
            And when at last I’ll hear the call, I know I’ll say ‘twas worth it all”;
            Only one life,’ twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

            As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
