While You Can

Praise the God of
This earth
The sky & the seas
I lift my hands in praise
As in joy I fall
to my knees!

Thank-full for the breath in my lungs
While I still have it
For even now to your glory
Are there songs yet to be sung

For the beat of my heart, 
This you have created,
As I praise your Holy Name
I plead for my country’s sin
To be abated!

I do all of this while I can
For we all know
Death stops for no man
So before I return to that dried dust,
Whilst still residing in this earthly shell
& of Him yet able to tell

I will praise God’s name
& wait most joyfully 
As He brings re-creation,
The world’s Salvation,
To those who choose
All their old ways to lose
To live forever with our Christ
In His beautiful & renewed Paradise!!
