Because I Have No 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 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.
