Power of a Moment - Chris Rice

What am I gonna be

When I grow up?

And how am I gonna make

My mark in history?

And what are they gonna

Write about me when I’m gone?

These are the questions

That shape the way

I think about what matters

But I have no guarantee

Of my next heartbeat

And my world’s too big

To make a name for myself

And what if no one wants

To read about me when I’m gone?

It seems to me that right now’s

The only moment that matters

You know the number of my days

So come paint Your pictures

On the canvas of my head and

Come write Your wisdom on my heart

And teach me the power of a moment

The power of a moment

The power of a moment

In Your kingdom

Where the least is greatest

The weak are given strength

And fools confound the wise

And forever brushes up

Against a moment’s time

Leaving impressions

And drawing me into

What really matters

You know the number of my days

So come paint Your pictures

On the canvas of my head and

Come write Your wisdom on my heart

Teach me the power of a moment

The power of a moment

The power of a moment, yeah

I get so distracted

By my bigger schemes

Show me the importance

Of the simple things

Like a word, a seed, a thorn

A nail and a cup of cold water

You know the number of my days

So come paint Your pictures

On the canvas of my head and

Come write Your wisdom on my heart

And teach me the power of a moment

The power of a moment

The power of a moment

You know the number of my days

So come paint Your pictures

On the canvas of my head and

Come write Your wisdom on my heart

And teach me the power of a moment

The power of a moment

The power of a moment

The power of, the power of

The power of a moment, yeah
