Set Free


How many times will run away?
How many times will i disobey?
Time after time you take me back
each time with no questions asked.


My beloved why do you run from me...
when you know that I have the key that sets you free?
My beloved why do you turn away,
when only I can give your weary soul a place to lay.
Give your burdens to Me so you can be set free
Give your troubles to Me so you can be set free
Give your dreams to Me so you can be set free
I am the one to trust, so put your hope in Me.
I will make you whole, come rest beneath My wing. Rest beneath My wing.


My soul is heavy Lord.
My heart is weary too.
My tears have withered Lord,
Show me what to do.


Give your burdens to me so you will be set free
Give your troubles to Me so you can be set free
Give your dreams to Me so you can be set free

"We say we waste time, but that is impossible. We waste ourselves." -Alice Bloch


TIME


Time, it is either intrusive or nostalgic.
We either have too much of it or not enough.
It is always available, and yet we have no control over it.

Time is perpetual, long after we are gone, it will still keep ticking.

There is no stopping time, not even slowing it down. Time is crafty, one second is a reality, next second it's a distant memory.

Time can be a date, an hour, a season, or lesson learned.

It can be the time when you punched the school bully in 5th grade, the time you went to your first prom, the time you got married to your best friend. The time you realized how much you need your family.

Or it can simply be the moment you found out that some one close to you is quickly running out of time.

How often have we said, "I'll see you tomorrow, I'll do that later, Next time I see you, I'll call when I have more time" ?

In the End we often think that the time given to us was not enough or it was not good enough. The truth is, we swindle ourselves out of our own time. Time is not the Fraud, we are. We tend to think we have this extra "reserve" of it.

In the End, TIME does not dictate whether we have had an ample amount. Nor does it dictate if our time was agreeable or not, WE DO. We determine how we spend our time, we determine if it is well spent, and if it will be an enjoyable journey.

With time, there are no reserves, there are no left overs, and with each second you have it is really all you get. It is what you do with it that makes your Time worthwhile.
