On The Line - Fernando Ortega
He wakes up worried,
Something's always wrong,
He can't remember,
He goes on and on,
On and on.
He gets confused,
Holds his head in his hands,
Willful and afraid,
But he's still a man,
Still a man.
He's alone,
Frail and thin
We listen, but fail him.
Out of time,
We're running out of time,
And old life on the line,
Old life on the line.
He lost most everyone
He ever loved
His mother, His Father,
His only Son,
His only son.
He holds onto things
Stamps and coins,
He holds onto no one
And hides his mail
Like a broken boy.
He believes in no one for too long.
He needs attention, so many demands,
So sentimental, a bitter man
A bitter man.
Read the lyrics and listen to this song. It is telling us of a man who wastes his life away till he is old, frail and thin, clinging onto the things of this world which are empty and not of eternal value. We are often this man, out of time, we're running out of time...
Matthew 6:20 (NASB) says:
"But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for B)">where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
