The Prize

There will come a time

When your time is upon you

Suddenly it comes and this story ends

Soon and very soon

Morning night or noon 

It will come dear friends


There will come a night

When the thief comes to take you

Take you to a place that transcends this earth

A Heaven or a Hell

Surely He can tell

What your life is worth


When that time does come

Faith and hope are done

They will be fulfilled

At the end of time

We will surely find

What our life will yield

Was our life in Christ

Or some other sacrifice?

It will be revealed…


There will be an hour that is coming so quickly 

A twinkling of an eye and this life is done

Either when we die

Or upward we will fly

And the prize is won

Ever to abide

Transformed glorified

In the Risen Son


There will be a day we may see a returning 

Coming back to take us to his side

Come to take us home

Never more to roam

His beloved bride

When the day is done

And the race is run

Jesus is the prize.


When that time will come

Faith and hope are done

They will be fulfilled

At the end of time

We will surely find

What our life will yield

Was our life in Christ

Or some other sacrifice?

It will be revealed…
