"THIS MOMENT"
"And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light." - Romans 13:11-12
"Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before: 'Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.'" - Hebrews 4:7
"Be very careful, then, how you live -- not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." - Ephesians 5:15-16
It only takes a moment for a child to be born
It only takes a moment and the child is grown
It only takes a moment, just the wink of an eye
It only takes a moment and it's too late to say goodbye

(Chorus):
This moment could leave us, this moment could fade away
This moment won't last forever, don't walk away, don't walk away

It only takes a moment, one angry word you didn't mean
It only takes a moment, one that cannot be redeemed
It only takes a moment and the wall becomes too high
It only takes a moment for something wonderful to die
(Repeat chorus)

One life, one heart, filled with uncertainties
You only get one shot, so take the best one on your knees
What we need is a little compassion for the least of these
Before love goes out of fashion, we must seize the day

It only takes a moment for the flower of life to fade
It only takes a moment to regret the choice we've made
It only takes a moment and the word is on the wind
It only takes a moment and the heart is born again
(Repeat chorus)
This moment could leave us, this moment could fade away
It won't last forever, don't walk away, don't walk away
No, no, no
It only takes a moment, it only takes a moment
It only takes a moment, it only takes a moment...
