Smith, Michael W. - This Is Your Time Lyrics






It was a test we could all hope to pass
But none of us would want to take
Faced with the choice to deny God and live
For her there was one choice to make

This was her time
This was her dance
She lived every moment
Left nothing to chance
She swam in the sea
Drank of the deep
Embraced the mystery
Of all she could be
This was her time

Though you are mourning, and grieving your loss,
Death died a long time ago
Swallowed in life, so her life carries on
Still, it's so hard to let go

This was her time
This was her dance
She lived every moment
Left nothing to chance
She swam in the sea
Drank of the deep
Embraced the mystery
Of all she could be
What if tomorrow
What if today
Faced with the question
Oh, what would you say

This is your time
This is your dance
Live every moment
Leave nothing to chance
Swim in the sea
Drink of the deep
And fall on the mercy
And hear yourself praying
Won't you save me
Won't you save me

This is your time
This is your dance
Live every moment
Leave nothing to chance
Swim in the sea
Drink of the deep
Embrace the mystery of all you can be
[Repeat]
This is your time

    "I rewrote the end of the song with bagpipes... kind of a last minute thing. I was laying in bed at 3 o'clock in the morning and I heard bagpipes. I played it for Cassie's Mom and Dad and Misty [Cassie's Mom] said, "You're not going to believe this but Cassie's favorite instrument was bagpipes."

    I know people are hurting after the shootings in Ohio and El Paso. This is our time to shine the light of Jesus.

  38. M.... W....

    I sure a lot of people in the comment section say how they hope that the two gunmen will rot in Hell but I honestly hope that before they pulled the trigger on themselves that they accepted Christ and repented for what they had done so that they could enter Heaven experience God's love in it's fullest.

  39. T.... L....

    Thank you Jesus!

  43. S.... M....

    Is that the girl from the Columbine shooting?

  44. J.... W....

    Even though I am an atheist, I have always thought this was a wonderful song. It's written very well, it conveighs a message, an idea that even though I don't subscribe to it, over a billion people do. Even without it's religious nature, there is still real meaning here, it speaks to the human experience. The vocals are simply amazing and the insturmentals are also very well done.

  45. c.... j....

    RIP :((

  46. L.... E....

    looks like Big Sur CA, a very popular video spot. never been there but want to

  47. V.... S....

    A very sad way to say goodbye to someone that you loved .

  48. L.... L....

    I heard this song once when I was a kid, before I could even understand English, then the other day the lyrics of this song popped in my head, but I immediately forgot them, but today I remembered once more then I searched the lyrics and found this song keke

  49. M.... ....

    Cape Town live performance. Almost cried when he told the background of the song. Was just breathtaking🙏

  50. C.... A....

    always makes me cry!! We need to every moment for Jesus Christ!

  51. R.... M....

    I don't get the meaning of the song. Who is "she"?

  52. t.... o....

    Rip Cassie Bernall and every other student that died in the columbine shooting. Always remembered, never forgotten.

  53. B.... e....

    This song is stupid propaganda jfc

  54. R.... I....

    Cassie ❤️

  55. L.... R....

    It was Val Schnurr

  56. L.... R....

    It was another girl that did the same,but she survived

    L.... R....

    You are partially right it was another girl who said yes. But the church has already had their martyr so they went along with the story even after they found out the truth

    L.... R....

    @Stephanie West I saw that the other day. The media will.do anything to get a story. Thank you

  57. C.... F....

    Was at Michael's concert in Green Bay last night when he performed this on the 20th anniversary of Columbine...wow.....and yet, here we are, 20 years later....and sadly, the shootings continue...haven't we had enough yet....peace and Happy Easter to everyone.

  58. T.... B....

    Today is the 20 year anniversary of the tragic day may the victims never be forgotten

    T.... B....

    and they never will we hold them in our hearts Praise the LORD

  59. B.... V....

    I can't believe it's been 20 years. I remember how shocked I felt when I heard the story, watching these videos and crying when I heard this song, and " Yes, I Believe in God" by Rebecca St. James. I also so connected to Rachel Joy Scott, and wishing all were still alive, when I read Rachel's Tears.
    I visited it near the 20-year anniversary....and guys, I can't tell you the emotion I felt when I visited for the first time.

    I remember this so vividly. 20 years ago...the day before my oldest niece was born, a month before I graduated high school. God bless the victims. This song always makes me cry. The instrumental version is particularly haunting.

  62. m.... n....

    I guess beauty was important to him to colour his hair, vanity there

    M.... F....

    Mesi Fran'Shieh yep

    M.... F....

    I'm listening to this song with great pleasure for many years

  72. I.... _....

    The video at the beginning was filmed 2 days before the shooting 😞

    I.... _....

    I_hate_you_3000 _ how do you know?

  73. P.... T....

    she is in the glory with crist right now.

  74. M.... J....

    What did valeen schnurr ever do to deserve this? She was totally erased from her own account.

    M.... J....

    The church already have their martyr because they heard that it was this girl first and they publicized and pushed the story. When they found out the truth instead of admitting they were wrong they just swept it under the rug and one preacher in particular can't remember his name even said we already have our martyr and you can't change the story

  75. i.... R....

    Eu amo esse louvor que Deus te abençoe a sua carreira 😀😀😀😀

  76. F.... G....

    So, truthfully, did this girl truly die for her faith?

    F.... G....

    Maybe maybe not who's to say but it was actually another girl who was heard saying yes that she still believed in God

  77. M.... M....

    So perfectly done. Does anyone know what the different times on the watches and clocks are? Especially the last one, is it 11:45? What those times mean? Thank you.

  80. L.... g....

    This is your time '

  81. H.... b....

    May we all stand for Jesus in the face of death!

  82. S.... W....

    If I'm faced with the question if I believe in God
    I'm going to say YES. I believe in God

    S.... W....

    Same here

    S.... W....

    I’m going to as well.

    S.... W....

    I will too

  83. L.... C....

    Linda música.❤️ ela inspirou muita gente com esse testemunho de vida ❤️

    L.... C....

    Eu não acredito em Deus, sabe. Mas ela era uma pessoa maravilhosa, e não deixou de provar o que seguia. Não sei como ainda existem pessoas idolatram quem matou ela e ainda outras pessoas que só estavam começando a sua vida com uma jornada enorme pela frente, é triste.

  84. A.... V....

    I remember hearing this song a few times on KLTY (christian station in the DFW area in Texas)
    I never payed much attention to the lyrics til now, I had no idea what it was even about..

  85. A.... ....

    She actually wasn't the one who said yes.

  86. J.... P....

    Everybody thought it was cassie. Actually Eric Harris said "peekaboo" before murdering her although he most likely knew of her faith since she was an active Christian, but it was another student that had been wounded and when they said "yes" Eric Harris just walked away leaving them to die. I do not know the name but that is confirmed fact

    J.... P....

    Rachael, wasn't it?

    J.... P....

    Katana Gaia it was Valeen Schnurr I believe who was in the library with cassie and was heard praying "oh dear God don't let me die" and the gun man asked her and she said yes and survived and people thought it was cassie. I don't think Rachel Scott even had any dialog with the shooters since she was on the grass knoll. Her brother says she was asked but I don't think he was there. There are more accounts of others students being asked but I think they all survived

    J.... P....

    The details are hard for me to recall; I was 7 when it happened.

    J.... P....

    I feel ya. I was going too. I do remember it being a crazy time in the world. I mean the Oklahoma city bombing, then columbine, and soon after 9/11

    J.... P....

    That and I had more pressing matters in my own life, at least in my opinion at the time. I was in pretty bad situations when I was a child. I had family a block from the school at the shooting. An aunt and an uncle who opened his church doors and never closed or left the next week.

  87. R.... B....

    Who is the girl in Michael W. Smith's Video? Oh, I had forgotten that he had written this song after the sad disaster at this High School. Its a beautiful song that I found by chance when I had chose a 50+ mix of Christian Music. Love it.

    R.... B....

    Rachael was her name.
    Could be wrong but her brother published her diary and biography

    R.... B....

    She does look athletic too. I never did know if she had done sports. Cheerleaders look athletic, too.

  88. T.... L....

    Irregardless of who said yes or whatever it is known that Cassie and Rachel were both known to read the Bible and pray in the library at that time of day every day.

  89. a.... ....

    i love this song for the pipes it really is beautiful

  90. 1.... L....

    but she didnt say yes. Val Schnurr did.

  91. T.... C....

    M W S . What a talented and inspirational man he is.

  92. a.... h....

    I always wish that there will be a lot of people who is lost back again to Jesus.... I missed peace world 😢

  93. S.... F....

    Man the tears flow when those bagpipes hit! Still my favorite video to this day! Powerful song.

  94. U.... ....

    I remember when Columbine happened and hearing this song it still gives me chills today

  95. D.... B....

    Honestly it makes no difference to me whether or not that incident ever actually occurred. If you read her story you'll realise there's a lot more to her life than just that one thing. Regardless of whether or not she was actually asked, we all know what she would have said. Her life was already enough of an example to begin with that the exact details surrounding her death aren't as important.

  96. E.... T....

    still so hard to not shed tears with "this is your time"...i will never understand...

    E.... T....

    This and "see you on the other side"

  97. G.... ....

    oh hail eric and dylan

  98. L.... U....

    She never said anything. Eric crouched under the table Cassie and another girl were hiding under, balancing on the balls of his feet, pointed the barrel of his shotgun at Cassie’s head and said “peekaboo” and shot her (since he was holding his shotgun with one hand, the force of the gun flying back broke his nose). She died instantly, as did Rachel Scott who was shot in the head outside on the lawn and was the first person to die. There was no confrontation at all, you fucking Christians need to stop jerking yourselves off and pushing a false narrative and your own propaganda onto Columbine.

    L.... U....

    This song was written in 1998.
    Get over yourself and enjoy the song or don't and leave, ya negative nancy

  99. D.... W....

    Powerful!

    Linda canção deus abençoe Michael w Smith
