No time for Marking Time

 

There is no time for marking time

living in the light of eternity

Our spirits are not bound nor blind

Though there are moments when we cannot see

 

There is no time for marking time-

Each moment has its special place

And we are accountable for moments

That are given by God's grace!

 

Now time still seems an enemy

But soon we shall be free

To live each moment as Christ lived

With everlasting quality!

 

There is no time for marking time

Each moment is a blessed gift

Like eternal grains of sand

That God's hands so finely sift

 

Now time with God is time well spent

All time and space soon pass away

So while He lives His life through us

All time is His own endless day

 

Yes time still seems an enemy

But soon we shall be free

To live each moment as Christ lived

With everlasting quality!
