NO TIME

I knelt to pray but not for long; I had too much to do. I had to hurry and get to work For bills would soon be due. So I knelt and said a hurried prayer And jumped up off my knees. My Christian duty was now done. My soul could rest at ease. All day long, I had no time To spread a word of cheer. No time to speak of Christ to friends. They'd laugh at me I'd fear. No time, no time, too much to do; That was my constant cry. No time to give to souls in need, But at last the time, the time to die. I went before the Lord. I came, I stood with downcast eyes. For in his hands, God held a book; It was the book of life. God looked into his book and said, "Your name I cannot find. I once was going to write it down But never found the time."
