Time Has No Holds

What do we know of you?
Does any man truly know of your beginning or end?
And yet, we insist on judging the length
Of our lives according to you.

Many have set their standards by comparing their lives to you.
Without ever giving themselves a chance to grow, or,
To come to a full understanding of the life force
From within themselves.

How you do enslave the mortal body
And cause it to dominate the spirit which you have no control.
Because of you...mankind has come to believe...
That you are a god...the kind of god that can put limits on
The mortal body and a vail over the eyes.

The spirit is blinded in knowing that you have no hold on it.
What man can doubt your power?
We have seen death and are afraid.
Yes, we are afraid to part from the mortal self...
Because we can not see beyond what we can touch.

Our fears have given you a place of honour...
Which you have never earned...
And enslaved us with a lie.
You have caused our spirits to lose hope
And no longer trust what our Father has promised.

You...time...have no hold on the body, or, the spirit,
Once a man knows the truth.
Men die because they believe in death...
And knowing the truth will set all men free.
