Time Stands Still
There is coming a day
Where many people do pray
A calling to all saints to come home
Many will be standing and waiting
Others will be all alone
Like a dog is without its bone
It is written in the scriptures
The dead in Christ will rise first
Then we will be called together to meet the Lord in the air
Doesn't anyone really care
Still no one knows the hour except the son of man
Best to be in service now doing all you can
Only one life is soon to be passed
Only what's done for love will last
Many have to get off of their high horse
To feel a real sense of remorse
We must give an account toward the reason we believe
The outside watching world longs to see you bleed
So live each day for the Lord
A willingness to achieve
