Next 5 Minutes

I was listening to an old Steven Curtis Chapman CD the other day, and I found this song really neat. I know this is something I need to work on.

I can reminisce about the already

I can worry and fret about the not yet

But when it all comes down I know it really

Really all comes down to the right now

So right now . . .

I'm living the next 5 minutes

Like these are my last 5 minutes'

'Cause I know the next 5 minutes

May be all I have

And after the next 5 minutes

Turn into the last 5 minutes

I'm taking the next 5 minutes

And starting all over again

Starting all over again

Every moment God is giving is precious

Every heartbeat, every breath I take

We'll never have them back once they've left us

There will never be another right now

So right now . . .

This is the day, this is the hour

This is the moment the Lord has made

Album "Speechless" 1999

This is the day the Lord has made;

We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

See then that you walk circumspectly (carefully), not as fools but as wise,

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Ephesians 5:15-16
