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"
