[Verse 1] Life is like a fleeting breath, Vapor drifting at the break of day, Chasing after wind and death, Wealth and pleasure will fade away. [Pre-Chorus] Wisdom shines, but still we fall, Good may suffer, despite it all. Yet wicked thrive — is justice rare? Hope still endures in our prayer. [Chorus] Fear the Lord and keep His ways, In His truth, our hope remains, Though vanity may shine then fade, In His beauty, I stand amazed. [Verse 2] Wealth and pleasure bring no peace, Justice seems a long delay, Yet in Christ, our souls release, Joy in Him will never fade. [Pre-Chorus] Wisdom shines, but still we fall, Good may suffer, despite it all. Yet wicked thrive — is justice rare? Hope still endures in our prayer. [Chorus] Fear the Lord and keep His ways, In His truth, our hope remains, Though vanity may shine then fade, In His beauty, I stand amazed. Fear the Lord and keep His ways, In His truth, our hope remains, Though vanity may shine then fade, In His beauty, I stand amazed. [instrumental] [Bridge] Simple gifts, a friend’s embrace, Nature’s beauty, God’s own grace, In His hands, we find our space, He’s our ever-eternal place. [Chorus] Fear the Lord and keep His ways, In His truth, our hope remains, Though vanity may shine then fade, In His beauty, I stand amazed. [Outro] Live by faith, let fear subside, Trust the Shepherd, let Him guide. Let us live with hearts aligned, In fearing God, wisdom we find.
