From the tomorrow we hope to come We can never borrow time And from its minutes we cannot take From the day that lays behind
Each day given holds its own A measured amount of alloted hours We cannot add or detract from one This task is not within our power
We only have what time is given There is no time within the past And the time that is yet to come Is fleeting quickly and will not last
The time now that we posses Is the greatest gift we have been given It cannot be bought with gold or silver And it's value cannot be written
Will you spend your time as a fool will do Upon temporary and fleeing pleasure Or will you spend it on things eternal And lay up for yourself in heaven , treasure
