Eternal Time

Grains and grains of sand,
Filtering through my hands,
Each one a promise You have kept,
In the earthly hour glass of time.

Minutes and minutes,
Being played out like spinites,
Each one a prayer you’ve answered,
In the earthly hour glass of time

Millions of twinkling stars,
And a planet that is ours,
Each one You gave a name,
In the earthly hour glass of time

Soon the sand will turn to dust,
The minutes will all be bust,
The stars will fall down,
And Heaven’s clock of eternity will chime.
