Verse

Time is a puzzle I don’t understand

I can feel but I cannot see it

I feel its weight when I try to remember

Running out when I try to conceive it

This world is all too ready to accommodate my needs

Eternal needs with superficial pleasures

But I do not need any immediate remedy

I would rather wait for my eternal treasures

Chorus

When time will be consumed

By the blessings You have for me

And I will be consumed

By the weight of all Your glory

And time will be consumed

When eyes open to Truth

And I will be consumed in You

In You

Verse

Time is so fleeting

Like dust in the wind

Yet I put too much faith in what’s instant

When the very thing I need is right before my eyes

But in my own strength I make it too distant

This world is all too ready to accommodate my needs

Eternal needs with superficial pleasures

But I do not need any immediate remedy

I would rather wait for my eternal treasures

Chorus
