Time

What is time?
It is moment here and there
That can be wasted anywhere
So it behooves us to take care

What is time?
But sixty minutes in an hour
That holding grudges can turn sour
And steal from us our youthful flower

What is time?
A day, a month, maybe a year
Much too long to live in fear
For all of us while living here

What is time?
For most they say three score and ten
When that is gone tell me, what then?
Yes what, where, and also when?

What is time?
It is eternity, time without end
That somewhere you and I will spend
So work and play, worship and pray
Yourselves rejuvenate each day
It is a gift given us by God
So redeem your time, lest it come to naught
