Time Always Tells

Time Always Tells Did you ever feel Jehovah had forgotten how you’ve tried That your effort and your service went unnoticed? Let me assure you, faithful brothers, time is always on your side And will surely, in the end, reveal your motive. With every day that passes that you suffer loyally If you’ve done your best to please our god above Be confident that he’s observed your integrity And wishes to reward you with much love. Have you ever wished to present a gift To one, you hold so dear To see their eyes light up in sheer delight To hear them cry’ How did you know?’ ‘It’s just what I always wanted’ Your joy so great, you couldn’t sleep that night! But did you know that this is how Jehovah feels about you? And each passing day his desire grows ever stronger With each faithful act, you gain yourselves more treasures in the heavens Soon the day will come he will hold back no longer. Imagine the gifts that will reign down upon us in that day Like a vessel full and overflowing at the brim The bible says it hasn’t been conceived in the hearts of men The things that he’s prepared for those that love him. Time is our friend, and in the end, will always tell the truth There’s nothing carefully hidden from his eyes So if you endure, and keep resisting the spirit of this world You can be sure you will receive life’s prize A.Jarvis March 1995
