Time Marches On - Kim Boyce

I looked out the window

To a land far away

Not yet morning

And I hear distant bells

This nation was here

Before ours was a frontier

Here’s the story history tells

(Time marches on)

Where have the centuries gone

(Time marches on)

What could my one life have done

(Time marches on)

Where have the centuries gone

(Time marches on)

What could my one life have done

In an ancient land

They’ve paid a dear price

For their freedom

They’ve given their lives

Can’t speak the language

But I see it in their eyes

I know we’re brothers

And I realize

(Time marches on)

Where have the centuries gone

(Time marches on)

What could my one life have done

(Time marches on)

Where have the centuries gone

(Time marches on)

What could my one life have done

I’ve read, I’ve seen

How they’re winning the fight

My problems seem small

Time marches on…

(Time marches on)

Time marches on

(Time marches on)

(Time marches on)

(Time marches on)

And because lawlessness will abound

The love of many will grow cold

But he who endures to the end

Shall be saved

And this Gospel of the Kingdom

Will be preached in all the world

As a witness to all the nations

And then, the end will come
