Steven Curtis Chapman - Last Day On Earth

Chorus / Description : The song reflects on the idea of making the most of each day as if it were the last, living with abandon for the things that matter eternally. While the song does not directly reference any specific Bible verses, its message aligns with biblical principles of living purposefully and seeking to please God in all we do (Romans 14:8, 1 Corinthians 10:31).

Last Day On Earth Lyrics


[Verse 1:]
I pull over to the side of the road
And I watch the cars pass me by
The headlights and the black limousines tell me
Someone is saying goodbye

I bow my head and I whisper a prayer,
"Father, comfort their broken hearts"
And as I drive away there's a thought that I
I cannot escape, no I, cannot escape this thought
I can't get away

[Chorus:]
Oh, if this should be my last day on this earth
How then shall I live?
Oh, if this should be the last day that I have

Before I breathe the air of Heaven
Let me live it with abandon to
The only thing that remains
After my last day here on earth

[Verse 2:]
If this should be my last day here on earth
If this should be my last day here on earth
If this should be my last, last day here on earth

And if tomorrow comes to find me
Looking in the face of Jesus
Will I hear Him say the words "well done"?

If this should be my last day here on earth
If this should be my last, my last day here on earth
Cause if this could be my last, this could be my last
This could be my last day
