Can't believe it's July, Lord!
And I don't want to accept
that for over a week now,
the days have been growing shorter
only now by minutes
but minutes become hours,
hours days, and days weeks, and...
Few of my possessions, Lord
(all your gifts to me)
are as precious as the precious gift of time
and so it isn't easy
to watch as time goes by,
slips past me and finally slips away...
But, so it does
and so it will...
And there's nothing I can do
but to pass and use my time
as you would have me spend it,
praising, thanking you
for the day that is at hand...
And to spend some time each day and night
huddled in prayer with you,
making the most of the time that's mine
'til my time with you will have no end...
For the dusk of evening light,
even if it comes too early
- I'm grateful, Lord!
For the moments when I caught a glimpse
of you, your face, your presence
- I'm grateful, Lord!
For all who touched my life today
in ways both large and small
- I'm grateful, Lord!
For the grace to live this day in peace
- I'm grateful, Lord!
For the precious gift of time with you
- I'm grateful, Lord!
And for things I missed today
but hope to see tomorrow
- I'm grateful, Lord!
Don't let me live in the past, Lord
- just keep me in the moment...
Don't let me get lost in what's not yet,
- just keep me in the moment...
- please keep me in this moment...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.
Keep Me In The Moment by Jeremy Camp

I’ve been thinking ‘bout time
And where does it go
How can I stop my life from passing me by I don’t know
I’ve been thinking ‘bout family and how it’s going so fast
Will I wake up one morning just wishing that I could go back
I’ve been thinking ‘bout lately maybe
I can make a change and let You change me
So, with all of my heart this is my prayer
Singing Oh Lord keep me in the moment
Help me live with my eyes wide open
‘
Cause I don’t wanna miss what You have for me
Singing Oh Lord show me what matters
Throw away what I’m chasing after
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what You have for me
Keep me in the moment
Keep me in the moment
Keep me in the moment
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what You have for me
When I wake up in the morning
Lord, search my heart
Don’t let me stray, I just wanna stay where You are
All I got is one shot, one try
One go around in this beautiful life
Nothing is wasted when everything’s placed in Your hands
(Refrain)
I’ve been thinking about heaven
And the promise You hold
So, it’s all eyes on You until the day
You call me home
(Refrain)
