Time and Eternity

Following fads, obeying trends
Trying to be what fashion commands
Floating along with anything
Is often thought of as being the real thing

But staying free to say no
Just being true to what’s really you
And finding out what’s wrong and right
That means to walk in a new kind of light

Eternity is there all the time
As a choice that we make
Never as a mere prolonging of time
But rather a direction we take

Time is so brief. It slips away
But we are here right now today
And we’ve got to choose where and how
For all time and eternity now

Eternity is there all the time …

Time may be short, but it will suffice
To check it and see, where reality lies
And we’ve got to choose where and how
For all time and eternity now
