Won't you save me?
Such an incredible song:

It was a test we could all hope to pass
But none of us would want to take.
Faced with the choice to deny God to live,
For her, there was one choice to make.

This was her time.
this was her dance.
She lived every moment;
left nothing to chance.

She swam in the sea;
drank of the deep;
Embraced the mystery of all she could be.
This was her time...

Though you are mourning and grieving with us,
Death died a long time ago;
Swallowed in life so that life carries on.
Still its so hard to let go.

This was her time.
this was her dance.
She lived every moment;
left nothing to chance.

She swam in the sea;
drank of the deep;
Embraced the mystery of all she could be.

What if tomorrow, and what if today,
Faced with the question,
Oh what would you say?

This is your time.
this is your dance.
Live every moment.
leave nothing to chance.

Swim in the sea. drink of the deep.
Follow the mercy and hear yourself praying.
Wont you save me?
Wont you save me?

This is your time.
this is your dance.
Live every moment.
leave nothing to chance.

Swim in the sea.
drink of the deep.
Embrace the mystery of all you can be.

This is your time.
this is your dance.
Live every moment.
leave nothing to chance.

Swim in the sea.
drink of the deep.
Embrace the mystery of all you can be.

This is your time...

This Is Your Time ~ Michael W. Smith

This song was written for a very special girl who died in the shooting at Columbine several years ago. When a gunman asked if she was a Christian or not, she looked down the barrel of his gun and said "Yes." She died the next instant. Because of what she said, we know we will see her again.
This is our time.

  • If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber’d here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend: And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to ’scape the serpent’s tongue, We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call; So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends.
