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 to die.
I
went before the Lord, I came,
I
stood with downcast eyes.
For
in his hand 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."
Do
you have the time to forward this?
