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
