[Verse 1: Stuart Townend]
I'd like to stop the world from turning
I'd like to pause it with my prayer
I'd like to turn the clocks to zero
Do all I can to keep you here
Silence the marching of the seconds
That sounds relentless in my ears
[Chorus: Stuart Townend & Phil Townend]
For time is given, time is taken away
The least that we can do is make the most of every day
And we are given and we are taken away
The best that we can do is give ourselves away
[Verse 2: Stuart Townend & Phil Townend]
What good is time if we don't use it
To find the path within the pain?
Whoever keeps their life will lose it
Whoever gives their life will gain
Not just a moment but forever
This love is stronger than the grave
[Chorus: Stuart Townend & Phil Townend]
For time is given, time is taken away
The least that we can do is make the most of every day
And we are given and we are taken away
The best that we can do is give ourselves away
For time is given, time is taken away
The least that we can do is make the most of every day
And we are given and we are taken away
The best that we can do is give ourselves away
[Interlude]
[Chorus: Stuart Townend]
For time is given, time is taken away
The least that we can do is make the most of every day
And we are given, we are taken away
The best that we can do is give ourselves away
