Our life is but a breath – v2

We are here but a minute,
for our life is but a breath,
a whisper over the sands of time.
 
We were born only yesterday,
an empty vessel to be filled…
 
Our days on earth are numbered,
born as infants, an empty book,
we are but a shadow, a breath.
 
We must walk in our purpose,
we are to follow the path of God.
 
We are here but a minute,
for our life is but a breath,
a whisper over the sands of time.
 
We were born only yesterday,
an empty vessel to be filled…

our days on earth are but a shadow, a breath.”
