In but a blink of God’s eye, all life in majesty was created
In but a blink of your eye, all life comes crashing down
The endless empty dark chasms, the void without meaning
Opens in the instant of the life-changing and inexplicable blink

The blink that changes all we believe we know
The blink that ends the comfort of knowing he will be there
Through easy days and hard nights
Through steps of fear and leaps of love
In a blink, all life comes crashing down

In one instant, he was here
Resting in the solace of comfort
In the next instant, in the next blink
He is no longer here, no longer there

No longer a source of strength and constancy
No longer a source of hope and wisdom
No longer a source of love and stability
No longer here, no longer there

In but a blink of God’s eye, all love and majesty were made
In but a blink of your eye, all life is changed

In this instant
And the next
All life is changed
