Tread Softly

Tread Softly
Valerie Clark

We always wish that we’d done more
The time is sweet, but oh, so short
You can’t go back, so hold on tight
It could be today, it might be tonight



Tread softly on this precious ground
Too soon you will be heaven bound
Hold every moment in your hand
Time it passes with the grains of sand



It’s always when the day is done
The could haves and the should haves come
Live every day with all your heart
It is all you’re given and all you’ve got


Tread softly on this precious ground
Too soon you will be heaven bound
Hold every moment in your hand
Time it passes with the grains of sand



And when your Lord, he calls you home
Make sure you’re ready to face his throne
You’ve lived your life with all you could
Regrets they had no place from where you stood


Tread softly on this precious ground
Too soon you will be heaven bound.
