i knelt to pray 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 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 condtant cry,
no time to give to souls 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".
