Story behind the song
Inspired by Ecclesiastes 12 where we are encouraged to serve the Lord in our youth before old age encroaches and desire fades
Lyrics
Remember now your creator
In days of your youth
Before the evil years draw in and surround you
And quench desire for the truth
Before the sun, the moon and all the stars are darkened
And the clouds return again after the rain
For in that day the watchmen tremble,
Mighty men grow weak
The windows all have been darkened
And the doors in every street
Have all been shut
Remember Him before the silver cord is broken
And the golden bowl lies crushed beneath its weight
The pitcher by the well has cracked
The wheel no longer turns
The dust returns into the earth
The spirit unto God
From whence it came
