Time Keeps Tickin

Spoken Intro You hear that sound? Tick... tick... tick... That ain't pressure. That's permission. A reminder that breath is still in your lungs, love is still in reach, and joy still knows your name. Don't fear the clock. Use it. Verse 1 I used to chase tomorrow like it owed me something Always looking forward, never seeing what was coming Sunrise through my window, blessings at my door But I was too distracted, always wanting more Now I feel the breeze like it's Heaven in disguise Taste the little moments money never buys Laughing with my people, holding someone close Learning life is richest when you treasure it the most Chorus I'm gonna thank God for this life of mine Hold every blessing, leave the clock behind Laugh through the tears, let my whole heart sing When this clock stops, I will be with the King I won't let worry steal the breath I'm breathing I'll hold every moment like a gift worth keeping I'll keep my soul awake while the world keeps spinning Forever begins, and time keeps ticking Verse 2 I don't count my years, I count the ways I'm blessed Morning coffee, open skies, peace inside my chest Some folks spend a lifetime worrying bout the end Missing all the beauty where the good days begin Take that trip, say I love you, dance out in the rain Sing a little louder, heal a little pain You were never made to live less than you were meant This very breath you're breathing is a gift you haven't spent Chorus I'm gonna thank God for this life of mine Hold every blessing, leave the clock behind Laugh through the tears, let my whole heart sing When this clock stops, I will be with the King I won't let worry steal the breath I'm breathing I'll hold every moment like a gift worth keeping I'll keep my soul awake while the world keeps spinning Forever begins, and time keeps ticking Verse 3 One day these hands will rest, these eyes will close in peace But that won't be the ending, that'll be sweet release A doorway made of mercy, streets of endless gold Where joy is never fading and no one grows old So while I'm standing here with heartbeat in my chest I'll treat every hour like a chance to give my best No wasting days on worry, no living bound by fear I'm Heaven-bound and grateful I was ever here Chorus I'm gonna thank God for this life of mine Hold every blessing, leave the clock behind Laugh through the tears, let my whole heart sing When this clock stops, I will be with the King I won't let worry steal the breath I'm breathing I'll hold every moment like a gift worth keeping I'll keep my soul awake while the world keeps spinning Forever begins, and time keeps ticking Spoken Outro Tick... tick... tick... That sound never was your enemy. It was a reminder. Love while you can. Laugh while you can. Forgive while you can. Live while you can. And when this little clock grows quiet... Don't be afraid. Forever begins, and time keeps ticking.
