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"
