Mist (Annotated) Lyrics

Now listen, you who say

"Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city

Spend a year there, carry on business and make money"

Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow

What is your life?

You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes

Instead, you ought to say

"If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that"

As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes

All such boasting is evil

If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them

Our lives are vapors

We have no control or understanding of the time we have left

We aren't promised tomorrow

So why would we wait to do the things that we know we should do?

For it is sin to know what we need to do, and to not do it

We NEED to put God at the center of our planning

Why make plans as though God does not exist

When He holds the future in His hands?

Seizing opportunities or being assertive without considering

What God wants will lead to frustration

Here's "Mist"

I woke up this morning

Couldn't see through the fog

As soon as you see it

It seems like it's gone

Never comes with a warning

It's just moving along

Such a beautiful thing

Interrupted by dawn

And life's like a mist

We're here then we vanish

Just cease to exist

With prayers we don't perish

And I can't

Rely on tomorrow

I don't have a clue what's gonna happen tomorrow

But I'm livin' like I have all the time in the world

I take for granted all the time I have but know that it's borrowed

And I'm straying from your word

Woah

Woah, oh, oh

Woah

Woah, oh, oh

Woah

Woah, oh, oh

Woah, oh, oh, ah, ah, ah

Yeah

Life's a vapor, never fails to move on

I say later just assuming I'm God

But I have no control of time

No

I see what I want

But I push it aside

And now it's been six months

And I'm still tryna hide

In the closet with all my skeletons

Ah, ah

Uh

I don't have a clue what's gonna happen tomorrow

But I'm livin' like I have all the time in the world

I take for granted all the time I have but know that it's borrowed

And I'm straying from your word

Woah

Woah, oh, oh

Woah

Woah, oh, oh

Woah

Woah, oh, oh

Woah, oh, oh, ah, ah, ah

I woke up this morning

Couldn't see through the fog

As soon as you see it

It seems like it's gone

Never comes with a warning

It's just moving along

Such a beautiful thing

Interrupted by dawn
