If Ever There Was a Time

If ever there was a time

For bending

And breaking

For my will forsaking

And my pride restraining

If ever there was a time for reckoning

It is now.

If ever there was a people

For seeking His face

And turning from our ways

For humbling

And praying

If ever there was a people for repenting

It is now.

If ever there was a space

For lamenting

And resolving

For true forgiving

And healing

If ever there was a space for restoring

It is now.

If ever there was a reason

For chastening

And purifying

For cleansing

And sanctifying

If ever there was a reason for refining

It is now.

If ever there was a time

If ever there was a time

If ever there was a time

It is now.
