TIME TO REMEMBER
©1999 Mark P. Hirschhorn
from the Ascending Music CD ‘The Wonder Of It All’
It begins when you find an impossible chance
Or a stranger familiar with only a glance
Or a moonlit cathedral that leaves you entranced
With the questions that won't go away
You stand there amazed, 'cause you're not really sure
If it's only a dream, or you've been here before
And all that you know is you want to know more
Of the riddle that calls you today
CHORUS:
Time, time, time to remember that now is the Age of Forgiving
Time, time, time to remember that Love is the reason for living
The echoes you see, and the ripples you hear
In the still of the night make it perfectly clear
That there's more going on than at first may appear
When you look for a way to begin
So you gather your courage and turn to the skies
For the strength in the hand of your heavenly guide
As you ask for the wisdom to conquer your pride
In your search for what's hidden within
Carried along on the river that flows to the treasures of yore
Standing beside you, your Guardian opens the beckoning door
From out of the gathering Light comes a clue
To the why that you are and the what that you do
And you can't turn away, for you know that it's true
As you're touched to the core of your soul
The message that comes from the voice that was sealed
In the depths of your past that has now been revealed
Brings a tiding of hope, for the hurt has been healed
By the One in Whose Arms we are whole
Soaring aloft with the Eagle who shows you the Path of return
Coming again to the here and the now with the truth that you've learned
You're light in your head, and you're light on your feet
And the earth and the sky that surround you are sweet
For you know that your life has been made more complete
By the journey you've taken today
CHORUS (2)
