Time Keeps
by Jaci Velasquez

Album: Keep The Fire Burning


Verse 1: Jaci Velasquez
Early in the morning
Rising from my sleep
I preayed that night Lord my soul to keep
Never 'realizing 'that my prayers 'dead you see
It's religion runnig through 'my head
Dancing to a different beat
Ain't got time to eat
Standing at the bus station
Oh what a frustration
Watching it pull away
I was late what can I say
There on the bench an old man
He looked the kind
Excuse me sir, do you have the time?

Verse 2: David Velasquez
There's a time to live
And a time to cry, a time to die
Because time keeps

Chorus: Jaci Velasquez
When will you make up your mind? 'cause
Time keeps moving
Time keeps moving
When will you make up your mind? 'cause
Time keeps moving
Time keeps moving

Verse 3: Jaci Velasquez
Standing in perplextion
An answer to my question
The old man tried to give me his direction
Pardon me sir, I don't mean to be rude
I just want the time come on that's all dude
Stand with intensity
I'm nervous you see
He had a look, sort of like a fish hook
He knew my ins and my outs, my fears and my doubts
I knew I was done when he said

Verse 4: David Velasquez
Time to be silent girl
Over the years I've crossed the deep blue sea
Fighting for my country the land of the free
In the heat of the battle I pick up my gun
It blew up on my face
Now I'm blind and gone is my vision
Thank God Jesus Christ has risen
I've given Him my life
He turned my darkness into light
Don't think you're cool I see better than you

Chorus: Jaci Velasquez
When will you make up your mind? 'cause
Time keeps moving
Time keeps moving
When will you make up your mind? 'cause
Time keeps moving
Time keeps moving

Verse 5: Jaci Velasquez
My anger grew 'cause I knew it was true
To the light he shed in response I said uh
Listen old man get out of my face
I am completely running to a different pace
I'm young I'm wild and nobody's child
My father left me when I was only three
The old man's eyes had compassion
And spoke in this fashion

Verse 6: David Velasquez
A child should not be raised without a father
It makes his life so much harder
Yet, your blindness keeps you so sad so mad
Prohibiting me from seeing your spiritual dad
Time keeps moving and He's been proven
Give Him your heart make a start
Because

Chorus: Jaci Velasquez
Time keeps moving
Time keeps moving

Verse 7: Jaci Velasquez
My heart was beating like a drum
To him I said um
But he was gone (Time keeps moving)
But something still remained (Time keeps moving)
Jesus I need you come into my heart (When will you make up your mind? 'cause)
Make a new start (Time keeps moving)
Thank you Jesus (Time keeps moving)
Thank you Jesus, yeah (When will you make up your mind? 'cause)
Thank you Jesus, that's great (Time keeps moving)
(Time keeps moving)

Verse 8: Jaci Velasquez
Hey you out there
They say you have all the time in the world
But you never know (Time keeps moving)
When it could just
Stop
