Title: I HEAR THE CLOCK TICKING Post by: Soldier4Christ on November 29, 2005, 10:26:07 PM I HEAR THE CLOCK TICKING by Irvin L. Rozier The silence of the house was interrupted by a sound The clock loudly ticked as the second hand moved around Time was slipping away, minute by minute, day by day I could do nothing to keep time at bay Where did those 18,980 days of my 52 years go I started searching high and low After many days seeking, I concluded at last Those days, weeks, months and years were in my past How many more days do I have to live It is in God's hands, my breath He does give The past is behind me, tomorrow I may not see My future is in Jesus' hands, He holds the key In heaven there will be no sound of the clock Jesus holds the key, this door He'll unlock Trust in Him who holds time in His hand The hourglass of old will have no sand My future is certain, this I believe He offered me a gift, and I did receive Eternal salvation that didn't cost a dime Now I no longer worry about the passage of time. |
