If we could turn back the hands of time br What hour or day would we wish to go? br Would it take us back to what we felt a better time? br Of which we had already had come to know? br br The past is where it needs to be br Not wanting to return to do it all over again. br It was given once so that we all might learn br A lesson only that once for us to spend. br br The future is what lies before us all br Where we sometimes must travel it on our own. br And in its lessons we all can learn br What should now best be for then and left alone. br br Turning back the hands of time br Can only repeat what once was done. br Taking all of what we've once enjoyed br And somehow removing now all the fun. br br If God meant for us to repeat our lives br He would have left us where we all once were at. br Not re-creating all that was done before br And reliving all of what is now our past. br br Look forward to the future br God has a lot for all of us to see. br He gives us a life of so many given days to live br And there after, to live with Him for all eternity.
