Power Of A Moment Lyrics by Chris Rice

Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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

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 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
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, the power of, the power of a moment.
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      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 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   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, the power of, the power of a moment.
