Verse 1

You were never distant
It was me that crossed the line
But grace was well acquainted
To frail and wayward hearts

Verse 2

I’d heard that Love was patient
But I had pressed so far
Still there was forgiveness
To find

Chorus 1

When rags of shame
Were all that I could see
You laid a robe
Of mercy over me
The Love I thought
I lost was always mine
When I couldn’t see it
You gave me time

Verse 3

You were never hurried
But never wasting time
Cause You were always working
With eternity in mind

Verse 4

And though there would be moments
That left me high and dry
Still there was a blessing
To find

Chorus 2

Cause when my past
Was all that I could see
You spoke a brighter
Future over me
Those promises delayed
Were not denied
When I couldn’t see it
You gave me time

Bridge 1

There’s time for good intentions
Time for second chances
Grace won’t lose its patience
While I work it out
There’s time for all my questions
Time for hesitation
Faith’s not counting seconds
For me to step out

Bridge 2

There’s time for all my failures
Time for all my anger
Love’s not keeping records
Of every breakdown
There’s time for starts and endings
Time for joy and weeping
Glory unto glory
It’s all in Your time

Chorus 3

Cause when a cross
Was all the world could see
You raised redemption’s
Banner over me
From life to death
And then from death to life
Through every moment
The gift was time

Chorus 4

And when the light
Of Heaven’s all I see
The weight of glory
Washing over me
And face to face
Your eyes will meet with mine
Now I can see it
The gift is time
