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"
