  43. Do Something... That matters! By Matt Prater

  44. C.T. Studd “Two little lines I heard one day, Traveling along life’s busy way;Bringing conviction to my heart, And from my mind would not depart;Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.”

  45. C.T. Studd “Only one life, yes only one, Soon will its fleeting hours be done;Then, in ‘that day’ my Lord to meet, And stand before His Judgment seat;Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.”

  46. C.T. Studd “Only one life, the still small voice, Gently pleads for a better choiceBidding me selfish aims to leave, And to God’s holy will to cleave;Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.”

  47. C.T. Studd “When this bright world would tempt me sore, When Satan would a victory score;When self would seek to have its way, Then help me Lord with joy to say;Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.”
