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.
