Gift of Time

A phone call, card, or visit
    is a gift of time that's given.
Friendship's caring is a glimpse
    of Father's love in Heaven.

No one knows how long will be
   the lifetime God's given you.
Receive it as a treasure
    and spend it wisely, too.

Give time to God in worship,
    an honor that is due;
He lavishes His goodness
    every day on me and you.

Give time to others joyfully,
    prayerfully doing your best;
Cherish the opportunity,
    and your heart will be blessed.
