Michael W. Smith - This Is Your Time Lyrics

Artist: Michael W. Smith

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Christian

  • Songwriters: Wes King, Michael W Smith

It was a test we could all hope to pass
But none of us would want to take
Faced with the choice to deny God to live
For her, there was one choice to make

This was her time, this was her dance
She lived every moment, left nothing to chance
She swam in the sea, drank of the deep
Embraced the mystery of all she could be
This was her time

Though you are mourning and grieving with us
Death died a long time ago
Swallowed in life so that life carries on
Still it's so hard to let go

This was her time, this was her dance
She lived every moment, left nothing to chance
She swam in the sea, drank of the deep
Embraced the mystery of all she could be

What if tomorrow and what if today
Faced with the question oh what would you say?

This is your time, this is your dance
Live every moment, leave nothing to chance
Swim in the sea, drink of the deep
Follow the mercy and hear yourself praying

Won't you save me? Won't you save me?

This is your time, this is your dance
Live every moment, leave nothing to chance
Swim in the sea, drink of the deep
Embrace the mystery of all you can be

This is your time, this is your dance
Live every moment, leave nothing to chance
Swim in the sea, drink of the deep
Embrace the mystery of all you can be
This is your time

Won't you save me? This is your time
Won't you save me?

    After the Columbine shootings, the Governor of Colorado invited Michael W Smith to sing at memorial services. When he heard the story of Rachel Scott, he wrote this song.
    Crouched under a table in the Columbine High School library, one of the killers shouted, "If anyone believe in God, stand up!" As the song says, "For her there was only one choice to make..." Rachel stood up and was shot and killed instantly...Imagine the kind of faith that took! But while the world was left with an inspiring testimony, Rachel instantly was standing before the God who had also sacrificed His life for her...and all of us.
