Throughout My Lifetime
Throughout My Lifetime…
Throughout my lifetime… Which has “come and went.”
A lot of my time has “foolishly been spent.”
Throughout my lifetime… I’ve seen many things.
And have tried the “happiness” they promise to bring.
Throughout my lifetime… I’ve lived like
there’s no tomorrow.
Only to wake up the next day drowned
in misery and sorrow!
Throughout my lifetime… I’ve tried
to enjoy the years
Some of the things I’ve done,
have brought shame and tears!
Throughout my lifetime… I’ve seen people
“come and go.”
Nothing they’ve tried has brought
true peace to their soul.
Throughout my lifetime… I’ve heard
of a savior’s grace.
I’ve been doing nothing but living
in sin and disgrace!
Throughout my lifetime… I’ve had many “chances.”
Only to be overwhelmed by life’s circumstances.
During my lifetime… I’ve thought about God’s love.
But I’ve been busy giving him “the shove”
During my lifetime… I’m going to stop and listen.
As to the kind of life I’ve truly been missin’!
During my lifetime… I’m going to obey God’s voice.
I’ll accept his salvation, and make HIM my first choice!
During my lifetime… And each day that shall pass by…
I’m going to live for Jesus, until the day I die!
During this lifetime that God has graciously given…
I’m going to be free and totally forgiven!
