Time That Never Ends

by Paul Smith

on Extra Measure (1994)

I've been hiding much too long
In the comfort of old memories
Lost behind the pictures
Of people I pretended to be

But the dust of my past has been scattered
By the wind of the Holiest One
The shadows have been lifted
Now I turn to face the Son

Years forever wasted
Became time that never ends
Years of empty vision
Became a blinding faith in Him
Years I took from my Father's Hand
The time I spent and lost
I traded for eternity
When I returned them to the cross
When I returned them to the cross

Now there's only the dim reflection
Of the loves I left behind
Even the brightest memory can't compare
With the peace I have in Christ

Oh, years forever wasted
Became time that never ends
Years of empty vision
Became a blinding faith in Him
Years I took from my Father's Hand
The time I spent and lost
I traded for eternity
When I returned them to the cross

We're born to a lifetime
Someday will be gone
But every day that we lay at His feet
Will go on and on

Oh, years I took from my Father's Hand
The time I spent and lost
I traded for eternity
When I returned them to the cross

Years forever wasted
Became time that never ends
Years of empty vision
Became a blinding faith in Him
Years I took from my Father's Hand
The time I spent and lost
I traded for eternity
When I returned them to the cross
