The Way of Life

The Way of Life. 9s.8s. w/chorus (February 13, 2017)

1. The fine-spun web--the spider's token--
Is like the things we weave on earth.
The web of life with ease is broken--
A tenuous thread to death from birth.
Chorus:
But Jesus Christ, the sinner's friend,
The web of life can spin again.
There is no doubt, we need a Saviour
For life is short and death is sure.

2. How bright and gay the fresh bloomed flower,
It cheers the heart and makes the day.
But comes apace the fatal hour--
Bright promises vanish away.
Chorus:
But Jesus Christ, the sinner's friend,
The bloom of life can bud again.
There is no doubt, we need a Saviour
For life is short and death is sure.
