The Everlasting Now

We were born inside the ticking clock Counting heartbeats, counting days But somewhere deep a deeper voice Is calling time another way The stars don't hurry, the heavens don't race Yet everything is moving on And every choice we make today Is stitching where tomorrow's drawn Every moment holds a question Every breath a sacred vow Will I live for just this second Or for what is endless now? I'm stepping into the everlasting now Where yesterday and tomorrow bow Where every choice becomes a flame That lights eternity's name I'm more than minutes passing by More than dust beneath the sky I'm choosing who I'll always be In the everlasting now The child lives only in the moment The present loud and bright But the soul grows wider wings When it learns from past and sight The future whispers through the mind The past still sings its song And wisdom weaves them both into The road I'm walking on When my will aligns with heaven Every doubt begins to fade What was chance becomes a promise What was fear becomes a way I'm stepping into the everlasting now Where yesterday and tomorrow bow Where every choice becomes a flame That lights eternity's name I'm more than minutes passing by More than dust beneath the sky I'm choosing who I'll always be In the everlasting now Somewhere beyond the ticking clocks Beyond the rise and fall Every dream I've ever dreamed Is already known and called To the One who sees my ending Before my first goodbye Who walks with me through every step From animal to sky Maturity is not just waiting It's seeing far and wide It's letting all the moments Be held in something larger inside The present isn't just a spark It's where the ages meet Where all I was and all I'll be Come kneeling at my feet I'm living in the everlasting now Where all of time is somehow Held inside a single choice And answered by a single voice I'm more than what my eyes can see More than what I used to be I'm becoming who I was meant to be In the everlasting now Not just I am… But I was… And I will be… All held in love Forever free
