NO TIME

I knelt to pray, but not for long

I had much to do

Must hurry off and get to work

For bills would soon be due,

And so I said a hurried prayer

Jumped up and off my knees

My Christian duty now was done,

My soul could be at ease

All thorough the day I had no time

To speak a word of cheer

No time to speak of the Kingdom to friends

They'd laugh at me, I feared

No time, no time, so much to do

That was my constant cry

No time to give to those in need

At last t'was time to die

And when before Jehovah I came,

I stood with feeling of strife

Within his hands he held a booik

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."
