Borrowed Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Where do you go from here
When love tears down the fortress
That you've made with all your fears
There are years of regret, of shame and condemnation
But God comes to you today to say
Today is your salvation
Well the clock is ticking
Are you gonna start living
'Cause you've really only got this life
And we're living on borrowed time
Don't you know what you've been given
So while the world's still spinning
Light a candle in your heart and shine
'Cause we're living on borrowed time
No one's getting out alive
But maybe life is how you live the days before you die
Do you have the strength to be empty-handed and forgiven
Can you hear the angels screaming: Today is your salvation?
Well the clock is ticking
Are you gonna start living
'Cause you've really only got this life
And we're living on borrowed time
Don't you know what you've been given
So while the world's still spinning
Light a candle in your heart and shine
'Cause we're living on borrowed time
We're living on borrowed time
Last night
Right now
Next week
Somehow
Love's the same
Love won't change
Love won't change
Love won't change
Well the clock is ticking
Are you gonna start living
'Cause you've really only got this life
And we're living on borrowed time
Don't you know what you've been given
So while the world's still spinning
Light a candle in your heart and shine
'Cause we're living on borrowed time
We're living on borrowed time
We're living on borrowed time
I'm giving you all of mine
And we're living on borrowed time
We're living on borrowed time
We're living on borrowed time
I'm giving back all of mine
As we're living on borrowed time
