Thief of Always
Before the winter chill has gone
The springtime rivers rise
Before the setting sun has disappeared
The moon is rising high
And time waits for no man
Seasons come and go
In the midst of an ever-changing world
This one thing I know
[Chorus:]
You've got to live every moment
As though it was your last
Before the thief of always
Steals tomorrow from your grasp
Before the chance to know His love
Has somehow passed you by
Let your heart reach out
Right here, right now
For the Lord to touch your life
Before the trees have shed
Their autumn gold
To leave the barest bark
The frost beneath our feet
Will sparkle bright
Like crystals under the sky
And time waits for no man
Seasons come and go
In the midst of an ever-changing world
This one thing I know
[Chorus]
Don't ever doubt that God
Can lift us high
Allow the flame of Heaven
To be our guide
[Chorus]
