What is time that we would count it?

What is time that we would count it?
That every thing we do we do in it.
What power does it have over you and I?
Power to change our hello into a goodbye.

What is time that we would count it?
Counted worthy to decide if we’ll stand or sit.
We use it for every thing, big and small.
To determine how long we will stay down when we fall.

As if time were power, something we measure our lives upon.
We bow to it as it becomes what we count on.
How dare we forget that time is something we created.
It was not acknowledged when God rested with Himself, it was a little belated.

Time is a choice, a way of life.
If you count on it, count on strife.
You set the hour, plans and all.
Time leaves you thinking you are in control, which becomes your fall.

There is a way to live a timeless life.
Where the Eternal One calls us His wife.
A place of calm security,
Not rushing around in impurity.

Slow down and see that time is but a way.
Learn to live in the timeless everyday.
Let God remind you of your inward sanctuary,
Letting go of time as you see the necessary.
