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 was done,
My soul could be at ease.
All through the day I had no time
To speak of Christ to friends
They'd laugh at me I feared.
NO TIME, NO TIME, too much to do
That was my constant cry.
NO TIME to give those in need;
At last, it was time to die.
And when before the Lord I came,
I stood with down cast eyes.
With his hands He held a book-
It was the Book of LIFE.
He looked into the book and said,
"Your name I can't find,
I once was going to write it down
But never found the time".
