"We Have This Moment"
And to touch as it slips through our fingers like sand.
Yesterday's gone and tomorrow may never come
But we have this moment today."
"Tiny voice that I hear is a little girl calling
For someone to hear what she has to say.
A little boy running there by the hillside
May never be quite like today."
"Tender word, gentle touch and a good time of sharing,
And someone who loves me and wants me to stay.
Hold them near while they're here and don't wait for tomorrow
To look back and wish for today."
Happy songs from the laughter of children at play,
Hold my hand as we run through the sweet fragrant meadows,
Making memories of what is today."
And the gold and the brown of the freshly mown hay
Add the pale shades of the spring and the circus of
Autumn and we view a lovely today..."
Chorus;
"We have this moment to hold in our hands
And to touch as it slips through our fingers like sand
Yesterday's gone and tomorrow may never come
But we have this moment today."
~Thank you for these meaningful and inspiring words Bill Gaither.
