Treasuring Time

New Year's Day

"See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil" (Ephesians 5:15,16).

Time is precious! Use it well!
Redeem its treasure while you live,
For you can neither buy nor sell
One moment more than God will give.

The gift of time is fast depleting;
God has limited our days.
Knowing that our time is fleeting,
Why not live it for His praise?

The days are evil for all those
Who do not know our Savior now.
Soon the door of grace will close,
And every knee to Him shall bow.

Since their evil days are few,
Let us preach, while still we can,
The Gospel message that is true;
The Lord provides no other plan.

Walking circumspectly then,
Redeem each opportunity
Throughout the year two thousand ten,
On this side of eternity.
