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 so I said a hurried prayer
Jumped up from off my knees
My Christian duty now is 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 of Christ to friends
They'd laugh at me I feared
No time. No time. No time. Too much to do.
That was my constant cry
No time to give to those in need
At last it was time to die
And when before the Lord I came
I stood with downcast eyes
Within His name he held a book
It was the Book of Life
He looked into a book and said,
"Your name I cannot find."
I once was going to write it down
But never found the time.
