This Time
David Meece Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The past is behind us; what has been now is gone,
But right now is with us, and we must carry on,
And, when regret closes in, I don't see what might have been, I see grace,
And I know, whatever comes, he'll make a way.

This time - this is what counts, this is what our life is about,
This time - no backwards glance,
Now is the time, this is our chance.

Our sins lie behind us,
All the weeds we have sown - how well they remind us what we are on our own,
But we are not on our own; God never leaves us alone,
All our sins are forgiven everyday,
We get to choose...

This time - this is what counts, this is what our life is about,
This time - there's no backwards glance,
Now is the time, this is our chance to make this time, this time, this time all that God wants it to be.

The past is behind us.

This time - this is what counts, this is what our life is about,
This time - there's no backwards glance,
Now is the time, this is our chance to make this time, this time, this time all that God wants it to be,
Oh, this time - this is what counts, this is what our life is about,




This time - there's no backwards glance,
Now is the time, this is our chance to make this time, this time, this time all that God wants it to be.
