The Lord's Rent
Some say we are just buying time
And some say it's only borrowed
Some say it costs too much to pay
Cause it could all end tomorrow
How much for a day, a month
Or even a whole year
The greedy ask us why we pay
When we never asked to be here
We're all extentions of someone else
Is that how we pay our toll?
Man, and wife creating life
So that God can send a new soul
For God is our Landlord, Jesus: his cashier
He understands when we are broke
But waits patiently, still holding us near
I say our lives are just a loan
The choices we make: the interest
When we are late to pay our share
The Lord extends it with forgiveness
So, I thank you Lord for my loan
My rent in loyalty I send
To ensure my soul eternal peace
When this borrowed life does end
And some say it's only borrowed
Some say it costs too much to pay
Cause it could all end tomorrow
How much for a day, a month
Or even a whole year
The greedy ask us why we pay
When we never asked to be here
We're all extentions of someone else
Is that how we pay our toll?
Man, and wife creating life
So that God can send a new soul
For God is our Landlord, Jesus: his cashier
He understands when we are broke
But waits patiently, still holding us near
I say our lives are just a loan
The choices we make: the interest
When we are late to pay our share
The Lord extends it with forgiveness
So, I thank you Lord for my loan
My rent in loyalty I send
To ensure my soul eternal peace
When this borrowed life does end
