Borrowed Time
(Rich Mullins)
Boy, borrowed time is bad economy.
Cash in before the market folds.
We've got a case of highway robbery.
This living in the fast lane takes its toll!
Boy, you spin your wheels of fortune,
But, the gamble doesn't pay.
While everything that is important takes..
Takes a little time to get it straight!
Capital crime! Don't let your life go to waste!
Redeem the time! Redeem the day!
My how time flies when you are having fun!
Oh, how hard we try to keep up.
You spend yourself with reckless abandon
‘Til you gain what you hoped for, and count it loss.
But, you keep putting off forever the biggest bargain ever made.
While the offer's good, you'd better take…take a little time to get it straight!
Capital crime! Don't let your life go to waste!
Redeem the time! Redeem the day!
Naked you came into this world.. naked you'll go.
And, you'll leave the act behind you when the curtains close the show.
You keep your name however much you change your clothes.
And, in the end you face yourself alone!
Your time is yours, remember when it's gone you'll give account for how well it was spent.
Oh, boy be careful that you spend it on the life you keep and not just things you rent!
So, don't you lose another moment. They so quickly become days.
And, the time is fleeting!
So, just take a little time..Take a little time to get it straight!
Capital crime! Don't let your life go to waste!
Redeem the time! Redeem the day!
Take a little time! Take a little time to get it straight.
Capital crime! Don't let your life go to waste!
Redeem the time! Redeem the day!
