Oh that time would wait a while
That music pause and hold
So we might hear with lasting joy
The moment's glad unfold

A thousand dreams of quiet hope
Are graven now in this day's mind
The pattern crafted all the years
Has come today it's truth to find

An evidence of private smile
And public promise made
For all to see and God to know
Though all the world would fade

Doctor Thomas, Katy Smith
Take courage on the path you tread
Though this day passes through and on
Recall again love

Lord I hang my head in shame
How silently you took the blame
How you cried with anguished voice
Rejected and in pain

And Lord I ask that my life's theme
May not be sinful and obscene
But rather as your Spirit leads
Be that of sinner washing clean

I look around at friends and peers
With trivia they dull their feers
And ask that they would know that love
That calls them still with passion dear

I am afraid, and weak, and poor
But I will look to you the more
For you O Lord are all I need
And where I go, you go before

Keep me Lord 'till we shall meet
'Till I can worship at your feet
You're all I am and have and need
Your salvation, sin's defeat

The reflection of me in your eyes
was of me laughing
But the mirror ran down your face,
I knew in an instant 
I was wrong as I was irrelevant
And you,
You were you
And that was enough.

No space to think
To sit in my tree
To stand and wonder
To laugh and be free

No time to decide
To stop and ponder
In 5 minutes time
I'll be 40 years older
