Life at best is very brief, Like the falling of a leaf, Like the binding of a sheath, Be in time. Fleeting days are telling fast, That the die will soon be cast, And the fatal line be pa**ed, Be in time. Fairest flowers soon decay, Youth and beauty pa** away, Oh, you have not long to stay, Be in time. While God's spirit bids you come, Sinners do not longer roam Lest you lose your way back home Be in time, won't you be in time. Lord I want to live for you, Give all I can give for you, Help me, Jesus, to make The most of my time. Fleeting days are telling fast, That the die will soon be cast, And the fatal line be pa**ed, Be in time. Lord, help me be in time.
