In the blink of an eye

on being with a friend who is battling a serious illness. our lives are but a vapor and can be gone in an instant.

in the blink of an eye.

you put me here for a reason,
you have a mission for me,
you knew my name and you called it long before i learned to breathe,
sometimes i feel disappointed by the way i spend my time,
how can i further your kingdom when i'm so wrapped up in mine?

in a blink of an eye,
that is when,
i'll be closer to you than i've ever been.

time will fly,
but until then i'll embrace every moment i'm given,
there's a reason i'm alive,
for the blink of an eye.

and tho i'm living a good life,
can my life be something great?
i have to answer the question before its too late.

i'll give the very best of me,
that becomes my legacy,
so tell me what am i waiting for?
what am i waiting for?
