lyrics

It is time, I know its time. You’ve outlived too many lovers your body it betrayed your mind
We have peace, that you’ll find rest, and we trust in bigger plans for what is best
And a common grace from an uncommon man, a legacy of love passed down with gentle hands
And like ripples on the water this legacy extends to more shorelines than we can comprehend, than I can comprehend

It is time, I know its time to reflect upon this most extraordinary quiet life
No diploma hanging on your wall but no man deserves to stand as tall with such wisdom as your guide
And a common grace from an uncommon man, a legacy of love passed down with gentle hands
And like ripples on the water that legacy extends to more shorelines than we can comprehend, than I can comprehend

Its in the roses Frances tended and how you tried so hard to mend her body.
Its in finding romance in a life long friend and coming back to life again
Its in slivers of pie and lobbing balls up to the sky
Donkey bites upon our knees and table tennis neath the trees
Father time on new years eve and that black dog at your feet
Its salt that’s in the sugar bowl and an eighth of glass of milk is all you need, all you need

It is time I know its time to contemplate the beauty and the mystery of this life
None can claim to know the ways and means of a good good God who can see everything. He sees everything.
