The ticking of the clock and the beating of the heart

The ticking of the clock and the beating of the heart

My grand-father's clock

........

Ninety years without slumbering

Tick-tock, Tick-tock

His life-seconds numbering

Tick-tock, Tick-tock

It stopped, short

Never to go again

When the old man died!

Time does not take a rest

 but the clock ticks away continuously!

So is the heart that starts beating in the womb
 and keeps pumping tirelessly!

The very moment my heart stops, my clock also stops, 

as I enter timeless eternity!

Let us not waste time counting our heart-beats

 but let every beat of our heart count for GOD.

Let us live our time on earth remembering our Creator.

 Let us, with every breath, praise our Maker 
Who breathed life into us.

As long as we have breath in our nostrils,
 let us praise the LORD JESUS!

The Psalmist ends his book of songs 
with the following exhortation.

Let everything that has breath 

praise the LORD.

 Praise the LORD! 

 Psalm 150:6
