Time Collab With Jo

Every moment is fleeting fast
The present will soon become past
God has gifted this time to man
To live and use for a short span


All our life we wasted our time
We did not know this in our prime
Time is priceless not like a dime
We now have lived a full lifetime


Our clock slowly ticking away
Minutes and seconds not to stay
What's done for God is eternal
Infinite gift in life's journal


Wasted time what will we all pay
What words are now needed to say
Tell God we are sorry and pray
I hope heaven is on our way
