Every Hour 

​

A major theme throughout this song is the notion of time versus the nature of eternity.

​

Time is a temporal, finite, earthly concept. 

Time is a failed attempt to categorize eternity. 

When this choir sings “Every Hour - we need You!” 

They are calling the eternal into the temporal.

They are calling the eternal into the finite.

They are calling the eternal into time-eternity’s earthly expression. 

​

In hard times-our prayer should always be “Every Hour we need you !”

Both trouble and triumph are fleeting.

Good times are but a vapor; bad times are but a vapor. No wonder we say “Tough times don’t last;” no wonder we say, “Time flies when you’re having fun.”

As time flies, hold on to eternity!

We shall dwell in the house of the Lord - for eternity.
