Moments, sweet moments that measure a life,
Moments of joy and moments of strife,
Wherever I wander, wherever I climb,
May I never squander these moments in time
Whether you’re a new young mother
Holding a wee babe to your breast,
Whether you’re a sorrowing family
Laying dear old Dad to rest,
Whether you’re a sister or brother
One thing stays the same,
These are your moments, this is your life
And the only thing you own is your name
Whether you’re a farmer praying for yield
As you plant another crop of grain,
Whether you’re a soldier kneeling in a field
Ripe with a harvest of pain,
Whether you’re a king, a prince or a hobo
One thing stays the same,
These are your moments, this is your life
And the only thing you own is your name
Moments of love ‘round your kitchen table,
Moments of husband and wife,
Moments to labor as long as you’re able,
Moments, sweet moments, your life
Little bit o’ honey, a little bit o’ money,
Little bit o’ joy and strife,
Little bit o’ holdin’, a little bit o’ scoldin’,
Moments, sweet moments, your life
Whether you thrive in a room full of people
Or whether you struggle alone,
Whether your ego’s as high as a steeple
Or you’re mindful of all you own,
Whether you’re aged, youth or a child,
One thing stays the same,
These are your moments, this is your life
And the only thing you own is your name
Politician or voter, patient or doctor,
Salesman or a customer,
Fireman or vandal, reporter of scandal,
Millionaire or poor gambler,
Student or teacher, sinner or preacher,
One thing stays the same,
These are your moments, this is your life
And the only thing you own is your name
These are your moments, this is your life
And the only thing you own is your name,
So when you bid farewell to your moments here
Who cares then about fortune or fame?
When you stand before your Maker
And your moments are all laid bare,
When He opens up His Book of Life,
Will He then find your name written there?
These are your moments; this is your life,
So soon it all will end,
Whether your years are one or a-hundred,
Life is short, my friend,
These are your moments, this is your life
But one thing stays the same,
God is love and His grace is free
To all who believe on His Name
These are your moments, this is your life
So before it wastes away,
Put your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
While it is yet today,
These are your moments, so brief, yet eternal
And one thing stays the same,
He gives everlasting life
To all who believe on His Name
