We Pass This Way But Once

This is the day for us to live.
As it ends, thus it will remain.
We can not go back to change,
One thing we have said or done.
We have no chance to do
What was left undone.
This day we have opportunity
To glorify our Lord,
Or to bring Him shame.

There is a time for all things.
A time to choose Him
Or a time to ignore the call.
“Lord, teach me to hear,
To obey and please, show me
Just what I must do,
So my life will always bring,
Glory and honor to your name.
For I pass this way but once.

This is the day the Lord has made,
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
