Take a Moment For God
Time can be your enemy, that goes without saying
To make the most of your time, hit your knees and start praying
God made no mistakes in this world he created
You can be “juice” to get others hydrated
He died for our sins, he’d want you to live
Read the word and believe and learn to forgive
Start your future now, come on have no fear
Take some time to be positive and have a good year
To have a good year, you can start with a quarter
Grab the hand of your spouse, bring your son and daughter
Find a house of worship it goes without saying
To improve your life get on your knees and start praying
To have a good quarter it’s easy to see
You must begin with a month, two, and then three
To have a good month you must start with a week
A good start is to watch the words that you speak
Take note of the way you get out of bed
Do you hit the floor running or wake up with dread
Start the day with a smile and not a blank stare
Read from the bible or say your own prayer
Everyone has a place let’s start from this minute
We all can make a change if our faith is in it
Be sure to live by the values you preach
Don’t say you’re a giver then act like a leach
Set an example, be strong, and take the lead
Need instructions? They're here in the bible..just read
Time can be your enemy instead make it a friend
Be the person on whom others depend
Offer words of encouragement don’t be quick to condemn
You’d be surprised at how you make a difference to them
God’s omnipresent, his love is divine
Get to know Him today there’s no better time
