We look at the hands of time

While still in our prime

We see the long road traveled

The soul that never unraveled

The God who made a way

Then taught us to live every day

We see the blessings granted

All the seeds we planted

All the moments we shared

The dreams we dared

What helps us thrive

How we’re able to survive

The way we removed doubt

That God would work things out

The faith that keeps us strong

Whether we’re right or wrong

The God given purpose

Lying at the surface

Our solid ground

All the joy we found

The life meant for us

And the God we trust

As we look at the hands of time

We see where we stand

As we hold God’s hand

We see the lessons

That have become confessions

Every daily journey

Meant for us only

Things we ignore

As God fills us to the core

The encouraging word

We’ve always heard

The special place

Filled with God’s grace

The perfect peace

Our hearts won’t release

How God removed every cloud

Moments that made us proud

What makes us smile

Even laugh a little while

And what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

As we watch the hands of time
