The sand has passed through the narrow glass
And barely a grain remains
The ticking arms of ten thousand clocks
Strike out a quickening pace

The days which seemed like years are no more
And years that were as decades now fly
And all of our hopes and dreams and fears
Have no longer a place to hide

For the passing of time reveals in truth
The measure of life we’ve lived
Have we been faithful with this precious gift
Or have we squandered what’s been given

So redeem your time! Redeem it now!
Live in light of eternity
For all at once our time is up
And then who’s shall your things be
