Time

What is this thing that we call time?

And why are we in such a hurry?

Why don’t we fathom God’s gift of time,

In the midst of our day to day scurry?

Despite all of our conflicts, errors and rifts,

Time is both marvelous and precious to see.

It’s one of the greatest of God’s great gifts

For without it where would any of us be?

In the midst of the rush of this day to day life

One thing’s always true, on this one can count

For each woman and man in each daily strife

Comes proportionate time in a limited amount.

Still another thing on which all men can count,

God has done this without charging a cent.

But for value received one must give an account

Of what has been done and how time was spent.
