The Power Of A Moment Lyrics - Chris Rice

What am I gonna be when I grow up? 

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? 

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 in 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, yeah 

In Your kingdom where the least is greatest 

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 in 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, 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 in 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 moment 

You know the number of my days 

So come paint Your pictures on the canvas in 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 

The power of, the power of a moment, yeah
