I remember the first time I listened to “In The Time That You Gave Me” and how it stopped me in my tracks. The melody felt gentle, almost like a friend placing a comforting hand on my shoulder, while the lyrics carried a simple truth that I think we all forget sometimes: our time here is so very precious. This isn’t just another tune humming in the background; it’s more like a quiet reminder that every moment matters, and how we choose to spend it truly defines who we are. Whether it’s showing more kindness, telling someone you love them, or reaching for that dream you’ve been putting off, this song gently nudges you to consider what you’re leaving behind.
What really makes it special, at least for me, is the way it slows you down and invites reflection. In a world that’s always rushing forward, “In The Time That You Gave Me” encourages you to pause and ask yourself, “Am I making the most of these moments?” It doesn’t feel like some lofty lecture—it feels personal, as if the songwriter is speaking directly to you. It’s a heartfelt whisper in your ear, saying: Make your days count, share your gifts, love deeply. The beauty of this piece is that it doesn’t give you a grand plan; it simply reminds you that you have the power to shape how you’re remembered, one meaningful act at a time

Lyrics
In the time that you gave me
Did I give all I could give?
Did I love all I could love?
Did I live all I could live?
Was my faith in your grace strong enough to save me?
Did I do all I could do in the time that you gave me?
In the time that you gave me
Did I face the devil down?
Did I make him turn away every time I stood my ground?
If today is the day you should decide to take me
Did I do all I could do in the time that you gave?
Oh and I’ll never know ’til it’s over
But I wanna fly on your shoulders
Might have strayed from the path
I might have gone a little crazy
I like to think I did you proud in the time that you gave me
Oh and I’ll never know ’til it’s over
But I wanna fly on your shoulders
Might have strayed from the path
I might have gone a little crazy
I like to think I did you proud in the time that you gave me
And as the hour glass empties, no it won’t even phase me
If I did all I could do in the time that you gave me
