Time

My name is Time
I am the present moment,
I am on the move,
I measure out life.

Some welcome me,
Some fear me,
Some could not care less,
But none can stop me;

I have not always been,
Nor will I always be;
God says I'm running out
And he is in control;

When I stop-when I am no longer now,
Eternity keeps on going
And it will be too late
For getting right with God.

If you redeem me
You will find me good;
If you use me
You will find me precious.

I am nearing the end
And I shall take you with me
Into eternity.
