“DO YOU HAVE TIME?”

I don’t have time to spend with you,

or live the Christian way,

surely there will come another time,

but that time is not today.

I don’t have time to spend with my family,

I must work to make my way,

there will come another time,

but that time is not today.

I don’t have time to kneel and pray,

tell my problems to the Lord?

who wants to hear things such as this,

surely not God up above?

So many times I spoke these words,

when I was young and ambitious,

forsaking the real joy life had to offer,

pursuing my dreams and wishes.

All the things I thought could wait

have slowly passed me by ,

now I can’t get those moments back,

no matter how hard I try.

I had no time for my family,

I had no time for the Lord,

now the price I am paying,

Is more than I can afford.
