Verse 1:
^CCaught in the stream of ^Emtime our ^Flife swiftly ^F/Gpasses on ^Cby,
^CHeavy wings for a ^Emchild, an ^Cold man man's soundless ^Gsus-Gcry.
^FTime flies and draws us ^Galong, ^Ampicking up ^Am/Gspeed as it
^Dgoes,
^CAnd quickly ending ^Gsusetern-i-^Gty then ^Cbegins.

Verse 2:
Time like a river flows, it's here and the so quickly it's gone;
Leaving behind it a trail of souls that are lost and alone.
Many who trust in the future and are foolishly laughing today,
Soon will look back to the chance they had to be saved.

Chorus:
^DmRiver of ^Gtime, so ^Ammany can-^Gnot ^Fsee;
^DmRiver of ^Gtime, we ^Amface eter-^Gni-^Fty.
^DmRiver of ^Gtime, Christ ^Amdied to set ^Gmen ^Ffree, ^Em | ^F | ^C
BbM7Help them to ^Gsussee__^G.

Verse 3:
Boasting of little fear a man walks by an open grave,
He realizes deep down in side that he must face a future state.
But just then someone touches his old, cold heart,
A man with scars in both of his hands;
Time has given this man a chance to trust in the Lord.

Bridge:
^DmToday's the ^Dm/Eday of sal-^Dm/Fva-tion^G; ^AmNow is the ac-
^Am/Bcepted ^Am/Ctime ^Am.
^DmDon't wait to ^Dm/Emake your de-^Dm/Fci-sion ^G,
^AmFor time will ^Am/Blaugh and leave you ^Am/Cfar be-^Amhind.
^BbRiver of ^Ftime help them to ^Csee.
