Once In A Lifetime

(album: True North - 1999)

Once in a lifetime we come to this place
We are given grace
We are given grace
Here one decision is made to lean in or away
Once in a lifetime this choice is in our hands
Here at this crossroads so briefly we stand
Once in a lifetime this one given heartbeat goes by
Once in a life

Once in a lifetime we come to this day
We cannot come back
We cannot come back
We have His Promise to give all the wisdom we lack
Once in a lifetime this choice is in our hands
Holding one moment between God and man
Once in a lifetime this one given heartbeat goes by
Once in a life

Met and surrounded by mercy so real
So real we can taste it
Over and over we choose to drink in
This love or to waste it

Once in a lifetime at this very place
We are given grace
We are given grace
No small decision is made to resist or obey
Once in a lifetime this choice in our hands
Once in a lifetime and never again
Once in a lifetime this one given heartbeat goes by
Once in a life
