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"
