Moment By Moment
Paul Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a city of gold across the river
When I reach it I'm told I'll live for aye
My soul will fly over chilly Jordan, over Jordan
On wings of love, I'll fly away

Not a moment to lose, make up your mind
Take a moment and choose God's love divine
From the moment you're saved, how happy you'll be
Take a moment and live, eternally

I'm so glad that I know sweet peace and pardon
Wheresoever I go, I'm glad to say
My soul will fly over chilly Jordan, over Jordan
On wings of love, I'll fly away

Not a moment to lose, make up your mind
Take a moment and choose God's love divine
From the moment you're saved, how happy you'll be
Take a moment and live, eternally

It's a privilege here to help another
Just to tell of His love in all I say
My soul will fly over chilly Jordan, over Jordan
On wings of love, I'll fly away

Not a moment to lose, make up your mind
Take a moment and choose God's love divine
From the moment you're saved, how happy you'll be
Take a moment and live, eternally




In heaven I will see you
cnd live eternally
