Everything should be in order, But is not. Things need to be done, But is not.
Days pass by so fast, But I am unaware. I try to keep them straight, But I am unaware.
Years coincide with one another, As I grow older. The sun slowly dims too, As I grow older.
My life grows shorter, As I sleep. Aches and pains dim a little, As I sleep.
Too many times I rant and rave, Because of little bothers. Too many times I resist, Because of little bothers.
I used to look away a lot, But now I cannot. Too many things I used to ignore, But now I cannot.
Jesus died for my sins, And I am forgiven. My sins were many, And I am forgiven.
I don't begrudge anything now, Because I have peace. I don't hate anyone now, Because I have peace.
I am happy with what is, Because my life is full. I still have my memories, Because my life is full.
The earth turns slower, But nobody cares. People grow more wicked, But nobody cares.
Soon this world will end, Yet we still squabble. God gives us so many clues, Yet we still squabble.
People ignore God's warnings, And He cries. No wonder God turns away, And He cries.
