Don’t Throw Away Any More Time      Dont' Throw away any more Time.doc

By Sharon Rutherford                 10-27-1992

You’ve spent your life in selfishness
Scrambling from mess to mess,
Going here and going there,
Never really getting nowhere-
So don’t throw away any more time 

You want to shoot up like a willow tree,
So you can say to everybody: Well, look at me!
While the oak tree grows so slowly,
But it’ll stand for a century-
Don’t throw away any more time. 

You spend so much thought on yesterday-
You can’t see what God has for you today.
If you’re looking back, you can’t look ahead.
You’re a new creation, That’s what He said.
So don’t throw away any more time.   
You long so much for someone to love,
But if you’re looking around, you’re not looking above.
At the end of life when you stand alone,
You’ll look for Jesus but He’ll be gone,
When you’ve thrown away all of your time.  
CHORUS
Don’t throw away any more time.
Don’t throw away any more time.
The Lord God has redeemed your life.
So don’t throw away any more time.
Chorus
Every hour is given by Him,
And eternity begins when you let him in.
God builds slowly, but He builds strong,
And if you hurry Him, you’re gonna get it wrong.
So don’t throw away any more time.   
What you give freely, you’re gonna get back,
Filled up and running over, there’ll be no lack.
What you try to keep, you’re gonna lose,
And now is the time you have to choose
What to do with all of your time.   

Taking the glitter instead of the gold,
Chasing rainbows as you grow old,
Standing alone with empty hands
As you grab and shove and make demands,
And throw away all of your time. 

Chorus

You neglect your Jesus every day,
As he patiently shows you the Way,
When you stand before Him in eternity’s day,
Then what do you think you’re gonna say-
When you’ve thrown away all of your time?

Chorus
