Thief of Always

Before the winter chill has gone The springtime rivers rise Before the setting sun has disappeared The moon is rising high And time waits for no man Seasons come and go In the midst of an ever-changing world This one thing I know Chorus: You've got to live every moment As though it was your last Before the thief of always Steals tomorrow from your grasp Before the chance to know His love Has somehow passed you by Let your heart reach out Right here, right now For the Lord to touch your life Before the trees have shed Their autumn gold To leave the barest bark The frost beneath our feet Will sparkle bright Like crystals under the sky
