Thief of Always Lyrics
|
|
"Chris Eaton wrote this, and it might be my very favorite song on the album. It's very poetic, and it's all about living every moment as though it was your last, and making the most of your time here on earth." -- Jaci Velasquez
|
|
Before the winter chill has gone,
|
The springtime rivers rise.
|
Before the setting sun has disappeared,
|
The moon is rising high.
|
And time waits for no man;
|
Seasons come and go.
|
In the midst of an ever-changing world,
|
This one thing I know:
|
|
You've got to live every moment
|
As though it was your last,
|
Before the thief of always
|
Steals tomorrow from your grasp.
|
Before the chance to know His love
|
Has somehow passed you by,
|
Let your heart reach out, right here, right now,
|
For the Lord to touch your life.
|
|
Before the trees have shed
|
Their autumn gold to leave the barest bark,
|
The frost beneath our feet will sparkle bright,
|
Like crystals under the sky.
|
And time waits for no man;
|
Seasons come and go.
|
In the midst of an ever-changing world,
|
This one thing I know:
|
|
You've got to live every moment
|
As though it was your last,
|
Before the thief of always
|
Steals tomorrow from your grasp.
|
Before the chance to know His love
|
Has somehow passed you by,
|
Let your heart reach out, right here, right now,
|
For the Lord to touch your life.
|
|
Don't ever doubt that God can lift us high.
|
Allow the flame of Heaven to be our guide.
|
|
Live every moment
|
As though it was your last,
|
Before the thief of always
|
Steals tomorrow from your grasp.
|
Before the chance to know His love
|
Has somehow passed you by,
|
Let your heart reach out, right here, right now,
|
For the Lord to touch your life. Oh...
|
