Verse 1:
Caught in the stream of time our life swiftly passes on by,
Heavy wings for a child, an old man man's soundless cry.
Time flies and draws us along, picking up speed as it
goes,
And quickly ending etern-i-ty then begins.

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:
River of time, so many can-not see;
River of time, we face eter-ni-ty.
River of time, Christ died to set men free, | |
Help them to see__.

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:
Today's the day of sal-va-tion; Now is the ac-
cepted time .
Don't wait to make your de-ci-sion ,
For time will laugh and leave you far be-hind.
River of time help them to see.
