From the recording You Are My Own
Life is a Gift
Life is a gift, it’s a precious thing. A thread from a tapestry to which we cling.
It’s a string of hope for us to cleave, it’s woven deep within the weave.
On God’s own loom the shuttles fly - faster than life that pass us by. (faster than life that pass us by)
The sounds of silence in the early morn, give way to the music in natures form.
The birds on high sing their notes of praise that swiftly fade in the mornings haze.
A new creation by God’s own hand, brings Peace and joy throughout the land.
Mortals hear the songs on high, but thru deaf ears it passed them by.
They Know their lives, like shadows flee, but nights dark shades they never see,
Until they draw their one last breath breathing out fall into death
Ch
The river of time it swiftly flows, on its muddy banks watch children grow .
They see their lives go rippling by, like blades of grass that wither and die.
The God they seek they cannot find; because they’ve closed their hearts and minds.
Yet there are those of faith entwined, a strand in the tapestry of life they bind
All those that hear and those that see, who bow their heads and bend their knee.
Give praise to God our Heavenly King, all honor, blessings to Him we bring.
