This world runs like a clock
Sometimes too fast
We want to get off or slow it down
But it keeps ticking
This world runs like a movie
With a pre-written script
Everyone takes their places
Acting with masks
This world is demanding
Of our attention, money and time
I want to slow down and savour the moments
But it keeps moving
This world is only one chapter
Of a much bigger story
A God who is in control
Of time and space combined
Step outside for a moment
Of the running of this world
And step into the arms of Jesus
Find rest, peace, solitude
He is our true strength
He is our timekeeper
He gives true perspective
In a world looking through a warped lens
God has us in the palm of His hand
The universe revolving in order
And while we are immersed in our world
His perspective is wider
This world is not our final home
It is a chapter of a much bigger story
A story of a loving Creator
Who will make things right one day
So until that day
I will run this race
I will savour each moment
And thank God for life
