A race to the sepulcher!

(Thomas Sherman, "Divine Breathings; Or, a Pious Soul Thirsting after Christ")

"What is your life? You are a vapor that appears for a little while--and then vanishes!" James 4:14

To speak the truth, our life is but a lingering death!

The poet being asked what he did; answered insightfully, "I am dying, little by little!"

We do but begin to live indeed--when we begin to live to God; our life before, is but a race to the sepulcher! But when we live to God--then we are on our way to eternity!

Our life contains a thousand springs,
And dies, if one goes wrong!
Strange! that a harp of a thousand strings,
Should keep in tune, so long!

"What is your life? You are a vapor that appears for a little while--and then vanishes!" James 4:14
