This Time

These song lyrics have been speaking to me lately. God gives us one life, and only one life to be all that God wants us to be - there is no turning back, no second chances. This time is what counts, it's what life is all about and there can be no regrets. However, God reminds us that we are not on our own, and that He never leaves us alone [Hebrews 13:5].

THIS TIME

The past is behind us, what has been now is gone
But right now is with us, and we must carry on
And when regret closes in
I don't see what might have been
I see grace and I know whatever comes
He'll make a way

This time
This is what counts
This is what our life is about
This time
No backwards glance
Now is the time
This is our chance to make this time, this time, this time
All that God wants it to be

Our sins lie behind us, all the weeds we have sown
How well they remind us, what we are on our own
But we are not on our own
God never leaves us alone
All our sins are forgiven
Everyday we get to choose

This time
This is what counts
This is what our life is about
This time
No backwards glance
Now is the time
This is our chance to make this time,
this time, this time
All that God wants it to be

Yes, tomorrow never comes.

So what can we do? Use today. Use now.

Have a wonderful week,
