time is only shared – v3

We think about ourselves,
our lives as our own,
but the minutes, the seconds
the number of days, our breaths,
are numbered by God alone.

Time is only shared,
given for us to use,
to fulfill God's purpose,
held for a time, within time,
in God’s loving hands.

weeping and laughter – v4

God wants us to live fully

within the time we are gifted;

God doesn’t want us to play it safe

within our own houses

There will be times of sorrow

of great sadness,

but weeping and laughter

are intermingled

in the journey we are on

In the struggles and joys is our living

in truly living fully

in treasuring the days, the time

we each have been given

we thank you Lord – v8

We thank You Lord

for this Advent season

for these days numbered

before we stop to celebrate,

The birthday of our Savior,

the Risen Jesus Christ

We thank You Lord

for the light burning brighter

two candles in the circle

that we lit this morning,

A reminder of our hope, and

Your call to bring light into the darkness

We thank You Lord

for the message we will receive

from one of the voices of Advent,

One of those who was there, Mary,

our Savior’s teenage mother

We thank You Lord

for what You have given us

in the Babe in the manger

and the Man on the cross,

We give You a token of what You have given;

Use these gifts for Your glory here on earth

Amen

time is a precious commodity – 2 – v3

Time is a precious commodity;

Time should be used wisely.

We should not fritter away time;

Time should not be wasted.

We all have a limited amount of time;

But we don’t know time’s value.

God alone knows the time we have;

God is time’s Creator.
