Lyrics
In the time that you gave me
Did I give all I could give?
Did I love all I could love?
Did I live all I could live?
Was my faith in your grace strong enough to save me?
Did I do all I could do in the time that you gave me?
In the time that you gave me
Did I face the devil down?
Did I make him turn away every time I stood my ground?
If today is the day you should decide to take me
Did I do all I could do in the time that you gave?
Oh and I’ll never know ’til it’s over
But I wanna fly on your shoulders
Might have strayed from the path
I might have gone a little crazy
I like to think I did you proud in the time that you gave me
Oh and I’ll never know ’til it’s over
But I wanna fly on your shoulders
Might have strayed from the path
I might have gone a little crazy
I like to think I did you proud in the time that you gave me
And as the hour glass empties, no it won’t even phase me
If I did all I could do in the time that you gave me
