And all my days are numbered
All my steps are ordered
Every breath of every moment
I have now belongs to you
I belong to you
It all goes by so quickly. It seems like yesterday that I got my first bicycle. I even remember my first ballglove and my love of baseball. I remember the first time sitting behind the microphone of a radio station. The day I got married. The years of playing baseball, running, taking vacations and so much more. Plus some of the sorrows as well. My mother’s passing, relatives passing away, and now some of the problems I deal with.
The line of this song by Michael English called “Time” from his new CD coming out Tuesday hits home, “My steps are ordered.” This I do know: Jesus has been there through every step of the way. Even during my times of so-called self sufficiency, pride and self-reliance, it was still the Lord that provided any good gift that I experienced.
I’m no longer the kid running wildly through the fields of the old farm I lived on. But, inside, I know someday I’ll run, jump and dance in the presence of my Lord. Yes, all my days are numbered and all my steps are ordered. But that’s okay. Now, that I’m a bit older I lean on him more. He truly is all I can really trust and believe in for eternity. It says to remember the creator in the days of our youth. Now that I am older, I’m certainty glad that I did.
So listen to a clip of this new song that’ll be on Michael’s new release coming out Tuesday. All in all, Jesus is my everything. I wouldn’t have made it this far without him. I owe him everything. May the peace of Christ be with you all!
"Time" clip by Michael English
There have been a lot of good--or at least interesting--songs about time. It's something we all think about since we are subject to it.
ReplyDeleteWe look back on time wasted. We worry about how much time we have left to get something done or even live. We sometimes wish time would stop or that we could go back in time (hey, that's a Huey Lewis song!).
Now, here's a really obscure old CCM song that I've always loved. Let's see if you can remember this one:
Only Time
by Crumbächer
Midnight, the stars are shining
Frequencies that tease the ear
Parade across the atmosphere
Daylight, the sun is rising
Awake to some familiar score
That filled my dreams the night before
It's only time
It's only time
Tracing your infinite design
Noontime, a breeze is blowing
Could it be that second wind
Heard talked about now and again
Twilight, the west is glowing
A tapestry of sillhouettes
Unfold before the day forgets
It's only time
It's only time
Tracing your infinite design
Seconds turn to minutes
Turn the hours
Turn the world
Into another day
Another thousand years
It's only time
It's only time
Tracing your infinite design
