Lyrics
How Did We Use Our Time?
©Tom Eure / BMI
Searching for the missing piece
To complete the puzzle of our lives
What we seek is out of reach
Can’t be restored for mankind in this life
So we compromise on what we need
And learn to cling to all of this world’s lies
We’re meant for more
We fell to the pain of emptiness
But Love calls us back
With a promise to mend our brokenness
To claim the reward
Each day we must build on faithfulness
When the clock unwinds...
How did we use our time?
In innocence we walked with God
Then chose the world and our world it was lost
But there’s a plan back to relationship
We will escape guilt shame and regret
Christ is the way the truth and the life
Our Savior taught us how to live in the light
We’re meant for more
We fell to the pain of emptiness
But Love calls us back
With a promise to mend our brokenness
To claim the reward
Each day we must build on faithfulness
When the clock unwinds...
How did we use our time?
Did we prepare
did we make way
did we grow in faith every day
Did we set
Our minds
Past this world on things divine
How did we use
How did we use our time?
We’re meant for more
We fell to the pain of emptiness
But Love calls us back
With a promise to mend our brokenness
To claim the reward
Each day we must build on faithfulness
When the clock unwinds...
How did we use our time?
Did we prepare
did we make way
did we grow in faith every day
Did we set
Our minds
Past this world on things divine
How did we use
How did we use our time?
