Spend A Life

(album: Perspectives - 2020)

Everybody's got a balance
But no one knows how much
There's no way to run the numbers
No way to count it up
And we're pouring out our fortunes
In the moments
Both the big and the small
Yea we gotta spend it all

All I have is what You gave
Watching seconds turn to days
I was made for more than just to watch it fly
A few more turns around the sun
Could be hundreds could be one
Show me how to spend the treasure of my time
Show me how to spend a life

I have never seen a tombstone
Say "I didn't work enough"
Nobody ever heard a father say
"I held my kids too much"
God I wanna run after
What really matters
So remind me when I fall
How a good man spends it all

All I have is what You gave
Watching seconds turn to days
I was made for more than just to watch it fly
A few more turns around the sun
Could be hundreds could be one
Show me how to spend the treasure of my time
Show me how to spend a life

Don't let me waste it
Don't let me lose it
Don't let me steal it for myself
No
I know it's precious
I know it's priceless
I know my time is flying by

Show me how to spend a life
