Time



Time is, like its Creator, boundless
time, like the wind, cannot be seen, only the result
time is immeasurable, unfathomable, uncountable
totally indescribable by human tongue
as yet, the full definition remains unapproached

Todays' memories are of yesterday
tomorrows' dreams are born today
oh how quickly it all just passes away
it's passage easily strikes our hopes to earth
empties us, leaving a vacuum filled dearth

Our hearts long for something
our convictions can sometimes be swayed
our lack of time on our minds heavily weighs
but more time, on earth unobtainable
time, like the wind is unrestrainable
in ourselves time is impossible

For time is something we can't own
it can't be bought or even sold
each of us given just a certain amount of time
measured by man with his frail clock
but time marches on after the clock has stopped

We can't create time, even though we've tried
predicting time as undependable as clouds in the sky
we're unable to speed it up, nor slow its march
time for us ends when we step through deaths gate
impossible to extend, most are too impatient to wait

We can't bring it back, nor can we stop it
we know not the end nor where it began
can't change its effects nor the results
oh the fear of it all that quickens our pulse
makes this body convulse

Like a blade of grass we shoot up in our youth
then whither on the morrow, dead much too soon
the roughness of our life unwilling to smooth
one second here, the next in eternity
a look back on our lives shows how unworthy

Our toil reflects our lifes' priorities
not promised the next moment or heartbeat
this truth is sobering, denial won't hide the deceit
heartbeats like drumbeats thunders in our ears
knowing we'll stand before Him, in fear and tears

When you kill time, remember it has no resurrection
straying from God leaves us with no protection
from the sting of death and sins infection
it behoooves us this day to change our direction
be baptized in His Name for a clear reflection

One day sooner that we think time will be no more
no matter how much we cry, plead and implore
God gave each of us a life time
to spend as we will in our prime
your time on earth determines your Time . . .

In Eternity . . . . . . .
