Find The Time

I knelt to pray but not for long
I had too much to do
Must hurry off and get to work
For bills would soon be due.

And as I said a hurried prayer
Jumped up from off my knee
My duty was now done
My soul could be at ease

All through the day I had no time
To speak a word of cheer
No time to speak to friends
They’d laugh at me I fear
No time…No time too much to do
That was my constant cry
No time to give to those in need

A I hurried through life
in doubts and sin I died

And when the Lord I came
I stood with downcast eyes
With His hands He held a book
It was The Book of Life

He looked in the book and said
Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it down
But never found the time…

*Something to think about…
Take time with the Lord and do
good to others.
