Life Means So Much

 

As a follow-up to last week's post about how brief life is, let's allow Chris Rice to encourage us with his song, "Life Means So Much."

Every day is a journal page

Every man holds a quill and ink

And there's plenty of room for writing in

All we do and believe and think

So will you compose a curse

Or will today bring the blessings

Fill the page with rhyming verse

Or some random sketchings

Teach us to count the days

Teach us to make the days count

Lead us in better ways

Somehow our souls forgot

Life means so much

Life means so much

Life means so much

Every day is a bank account

And time is our currency

So no one's rich, nobody's poor

We get 24 hours each

So how are you gonna spend

Will you invest or squander

Try to get ahead

Or help someone who's under

Has anybody lived who knew the value of a life

And don't you think giving His all would prove

The worth of yours and mine

Teach us to count the days

Teach us to make the days count

Lead us in better ways

That somehow our souls forgot

Life means so much

Every day is a gift you've been given

Make the most of the time every minute you're living

Truth is...what we do with the admittedly-small amount of time we are given matters. How we treat people makes a difference...for them and for us and for all eternity. "Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom." (Psalm 90:12)
