6th track from Love Broke Thru (1976). It's "Time" for guitar virtuoso Phil Keaggy to trade licks with legendary keyboardist Michael Omartian! In 1976, Keaggy released his second solo album after leaving Glass Harp, and the first cut on side two finds him singing about a mysterious subject that has long been the focus of philosophers, poets, theologians, and scientists—time. Will time someday come to an end? Well, regardless of whether it is literal or figurative, the answer for each one of us is a resounding "yes!" And the next question is—are you ready to meet your Maker?

Is There A Guitarist In The House?

"Phil Keaggy is perhaps one of the most admired guitarists in music today. His fans range from those who aspire just to be able to play Keaggy's mistakes, to professional musicians who have been strongly influenced by his style. And in between are those who don't play guitar, yet find solace in his beautifully penned lyrics and memorable melodies."

Well, he hasn’t always been around
And he won’t always be
But he’s on the move at this moment
Measuring life for you and me

I fear we all submit to him
Existing anxiously
And no one is able to turn him off
Except the Lord, who holds the key

When the Lord stops him, that’ll be it
Too late for apologies
Too late to forgive your brother
Too late to get on your knees
When the Lord stops him, that’ll be it
Too late to help the needy
And worst of all, too late to turn
You must face eternity

His name is Time and he’s coming to an end
His name is Time, where will you be, my friend
His name is Time and he’s coming to an end
His name is Time, where will you be, my friend

Most people think he’ll never stop
But go on perpetually
But old man Time is running out
And he’ll cease eventually
