The Time is Now



When do I give my heart
When do I take a start
When do I leave my life of sin
and let you in
When do I say no to the world
And yes to your Word
It all seems okay
The end of days, seems so far away
But I'll not let the looks be my guide
For I know in you I can only confide
I'll turn away today
Though tomorrow a few hours away
My eternity with You
The chance to be with My Lord
May all be helpless
In just one second's mess
so I'll not dwell in sorrow
Nor wait for tomorrow
I'll wash myself with Your holy soap
and bathe in Your word of Hope
