The Secret Of Time

Time is a gift of love and grace
Without time there’d be no time to change
Time to be tried, humbled and broken
Time to hear the word of love spoken
I see the mission up ahead of me
And I tremble as one shaken
But if I have the eyes of faith
The eyes to see
I will leave the outcome
In the hands of the One who called me
And ovr and over I must learn and relarn
That whether I decrease
Or whether I increase
Is not my concern
(Not my concern, no)
Deliver me from strategy
From endless clever thinking
Set my sights upon the shore
Keep this boat from sinking down
Let me taste of a fresh wind of reason
And stir the gift within
For I am not a boat left to drift at sea
I remain in you and you remain in me
There is no great distance
Between you and I
The moment I found out who you were
I found out who I was
And the silence covered me
And the tears began to fall
I could see, I could see
What a great and grand, great and grand
Act of affection it’s all been, all been
Time that is, time that is
Talk about time that is, time that is
My history is written through the choices I make
Let me sing just ten true words
I’d rather sing just ten true words
Than a hundred words that in the end
Amount to nothing, absolutely nothing
