"From dirt I was made, to dirt I will return
And all I might seem to be is not who I am
For the Father above has given me life and breath
And all that I have is His
From dirt I was made, to dirt I will return
And all I might seem to be is not who I am
For the Father above has given me life and breath
And all that I have is His
Whispering morning kisses away the night,
And then she touches the river, she's making the mist to rise
And the mist comes off the water, he spins and laughs and he leaves,
And then he dances a moment, oh, but the music is brief
Time keeps turning, one turn deserves another
I'm just learning what You already know
We live but a moment, we come and we go
And the hawk comes riding and racing across the sky
And he chases the winds, and he turns to wave goodbye
To the storm that's kickin' up in the middle of the day
But now the rain won't last long, soon she'll be blown away
Time keeps turning, one turn deserves another
I'm just learning what You already know
We live but a moment, we come and we go
Who knows but that you have come into this world
For such a time as this
Who knows but that you have come into this world
For such a time as this
Silently the evening sends coals within the heavens
To this silouette cradle like a bird within her nest
And the day is in his autumn when the night is in her bloom
And now the colors are falling, they're giving their way to the moon
Time keeps turning, one turn deserves another
I'm just learning what You already know
We live but a moment, we come and we go
Who knows but that you have come into this world
For such a time as this
Who knows but that you have come into this world
For such a time as this
Who knows but that you have come into this world
For such a time as this
Who knows but that you have come into this world
For such a time as this"
