I didn't know Jimmy Swaggart sang this one, but years ago, there was a family group (the Goodmans, maybe?) who covered it, too. It's a powerful reminder that this life is all we have to prepare for Heaven. If we want to be ready for the next life, we'll need to be prepared during this life too. I say this because just a few days ago, I preached my first funeral sermon for a young woman, who died just 90 days or so after turning 44. O that we might be ready for the Lord's call!
May I close with a quote from Jack Mortensen, whose radio network consisted of several stations? Each day around 6 pm, he would give a talk or message and would close his message by saying, "Remember to live every day as if it were your last--for someday, it will be". Sage advice!
