Album cover for Temporary by Jeff Vargas: a person walks between a dark city under storm clouds and a radiant golden landscape with a cross and heavenly castle

A song by Jeff Vargas

Temporary

Out now ·

The pain is temporary. The fear is temporary. The struggles of this world are temporary. But His love is forever. Temporary is a powerful, soul-stirring gospel anthem, lifted by the strength of a choir, reminding us that while everything around us may change, Jesus never does. A song of surrender, reassurance, and unshakable hope in the One who remains eternal.

Why I wrote this

Life has a way of making everything feel permanent. The worries, the pain, the uncertainty about tomorrow. Sometimes we carry so much that we forget we're not meant to carry it all alone.

Temporary is a reminder that whatever we're facing today won't last forever. People change. Circumstances change. Even the hardest seasons eventually pass. But Jesus never changes.

With its powerful gospel sound and soaring choir, the song builds from a place of weariness into a declaration of faith. It's about finding rest when we're exhausted, peace when we're overwhelmed, and hope when we can't see what comes next.

The message isn't that life will be easy or that every question will be answered. It's that we can trust God even when we don't have the answers.

The pain is temporary. The struggles are temporary. This world is temporary.

But His love is eternal. And through Jesus, heaven is our forever home.
