Not My Time

At night I lay down in my bed

And I asked the Lord why am I not Dead

I've been trying to die for years and years

For death is not one of my fears

You're punishing me for what I don't know

But I wish you would give up and just let me go

 the Lord answered back in the most loving way

I will not let you go for today's not your day

I've known you since far before birth

 I wish you could see just how much you're worth

You're kind and you're caring and loving and smart

When I look at you I see your big heart

So I smiled and thanked him and realized he's right

And I made a commitment to follow his light

For I know the Lord will not lead me astray

Because it's here on this Earth that he wants me to stay
