I had to 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 feared.
No time, no time, I've much to do,
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 hand he held a book,
It was the Book of Life.
God looked into his His book and said,
"Your name I cannot fine.
I once was going to write it down,
But never found the time."
