I knelt to pray but not for long, For 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 would laugh at me I would fear.No time, no time, too much to do,That was my constant cry.No time to give to souls in need,At last came 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 was once going to write it down,But never found the time.
