Time for Jesus

Bus at a Bus Stop, Placa Espana, Barcelona, Spain

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too 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 fear.

• No time, no time, too much to do,

That 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 hands God! held a book;
It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said

"Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"
