Life can be a challenge, I'm sure you would agree
It seems that somedays I wonder what is wrong with me.
I want to do right and it seems I always do wrong.
To be a person of integrity I must stay strong.
 
What would I do different if I had only 30 days to live?
I'd look for people needing help and donate and give.
I will start that process today and give my stuff away
When people see what I'm doing I wonder what they'll say?
 
Everything that I own is really only on loan to me
Jesus loans us everything It's really now ours you see.
You can't take it with you when you die, we all know that's true
So build up your treasures in heaven, they'll be waiting for you
 
If we could only see the future and where tomorrow we would be
I'm sure that our life would be different wouldn't you agree?
We know that our life on earth is relatively few in years
I want to spend the rest of my life happy and not in regret and tears.
