Time to Live
November 5, 2022 4 Comments
How long? How short. So live each day the daily way, trusting in God above (Matt 6:11, 6:34).
Forgive, forget; release your debts (Matt 6:12), living in step with the Helper (Gal 5:22–26).
The Clock of Life
(Robert H. Smith)
The clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hour.
To lose one’s wealth is sad indeed,
To lose one’s health is more,
To lose one’s soul is such a loss
That no man can restore.
The present only is our own,
So live, love, toil with a will,
Place no faith in “Tomorrow”
For the clock may then be still.
So true! Thanks, Craig!

As time begins to burn itself upon me
And the days are growing very short
People try their hardest to reject me
But in a way, their conscience won’t be caught
Something’s happening to me day by day
My pebble on the beach is getting washed away
I’ve given everything that was mine to give
And now I’ll turn around and find that there’s no time to live
So often I have seen that big wheel of fortune
Spinning for the man who holds the ace
There’s many who would change their places for him
But none of them have ever seen his lonely face
