Plenty of Time
Journey Through Time: A Reflection on Life's Choices
Lyrics
I got up on Sunday morning went to the church at ten
I attended church on Sunday morning at ten.
I listened to the words I'd heard time and time again
I listened to familiar words spoken repeatedly.
The preacher spoke of simple lives it seems he spoke of mine
The preacher discussed leading simple lives, and it resonated with me.
But I was young I have plenty of time
Despite being young, I believed I had ample time.
I walked on down life's pathway living as I wished to live
I continued living life according to my desires.
How to beat the other fellow how to get what life could give
I focused on outdoing others and maximizing life's opportunities.
Making money isn't sinful having fun is not a crime
Making money and enjoying life weren't considered wrong.
So I'll just wait I've got plenty of time
I decided to wait, thinking time was on my side.
Plenty of time to decide where I'm bound to eternal darkness or to heaven's grounds
I believed I had ample time to choose my destiny—darkness or heaven.
I'm just a young girl not yet in my prime so I'll just wait I've got plenty of time
As a young girl not yet at my prime, I postponed decisions.
Before I knew what happened life seems had passed away
Life passed quickly before I fully realized what was happening.
And millions stood before God's throne for it was judgement day
On Judgment Day, millions faced God's throne.
Now eternal darkness beckons and the name it calls is mine
Eternal darkness awaits, calling my name.
But I thought that I had plenty of time
I had mistakenly believed that I had plenty of time.
Eternity waits I've got plenty of time
Now, eternity awaits, and time is no longer abundant.
To think of all the days that Christ could have been mine
I reflect on missed opportunities to embrace Christ.
Now my chance is over eartht's days have left behind
My chances on Earth are gone, left in the past.
You and I have plenty of time now I've got nothing but plenty of time
Both you and I now have no choice but to face the consequences.
