So Little Time

So little time to say things 
You would really like to say.
Before you even find the words, 
The time just slips away. 

So little time to do the things 
You feel that you must do. 
So treasure like the purest gold
The time God's given you.

So little time to dream your dreams 
For youth has passed its prime.
And all too soon you realize 
That there's so little time. 

So little time to reach the height 
To which you're bound to climb.
For swiftly pass the waning years
And there's so little time. 

So little time to pass regrets
And less to make amends.
Yet God can heal the deepest wounds 
In chosen, cherished friends. 

So little time to share God's love 
And beauty here on earth. 
And know before His endless time 
Their meaning and true worth. 

Oh, yes, there is so little time
To seek the hidden door.
That opens up to heaven's time
Where time's forevermore.
