"While I'm Here" lyrics - THE OAK RIDGE BOYS

In this world my time is oh so short
Here today tomorrow I'll depart
While I'm here just let me live and pray
Let me live rejoicing everyday

While I'm here please help me understand
Help me love not hate my fellow man
'Cause this war within my heart to cease
Make my life an instrument of peace

While I'm here the time flies away
One more minute one more hour one more day
Just one thought a word a final deed
Then my life down here would be complete
Make my life an instrument of peace
