Time To Live

What if you were given a YEAR to live What changes would you make Would it change your attitude On what you do and say Would you now give to others Or sit in your world and fret Over all the things you didn't do And all the things you did What if you were given a MONTH to live That really isn't much time To do the things that you need to do To say all you goodbyes Would you live each day to the fullest Try and bring about a change Would you pack up your bags for storage Or give them all away What if you were given a DAY to live Would you view it differently Feel a crispness to the air That before you didn't see Would you find yourself soul searching For a God you used to not believe And would you do it desperately Weeping down upon your knees What if you were given an HOUR to live Could you make do with it Would you stand in the wings idly And watch the seconds tick Would you tell all those around To take life for Christ and live And that no matter the time To not give up and quit Your down to your last minute I hope you've spent it wise Now all for you that's left to do Is lay down and close your eyes
