IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS

 

 

In the next ten years the world will change.

Industry will advance, resources decay.

Governments will govern or fade away.

This will happen in the next ten years.

 

In the next ten years where will you be?

Will you accomplish all your dreams?

Will you have wealth and security?

Is life more of life in the next ten years?

 

Life is a river and it's rushing by.

It’s on us to redeem the time.

Existence is a gift, not yours or mine.

So, Lord teach us to number our days. 

 

The trouble is, we think we have time.

That the days, months, years are mine.

That the next ten years are sure to come.

This life is ours and the world’s a song.

The curtains open and we take center stage.

Really, the next ten years are today.

 

You don’t have time, nor do I.

You don’t have anything but Christ. 

You don’t have ten years, or today.

Eternity is just a breath away.
