NO TIME FOR GOD

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 OFF MY KNEES.
MY RELIGIOUS 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 GOD TO FRIENDS
THEY”D LAUGH AT ME I’D FEAR.

NO TIME , NO TIME, TOO MUCH TO DO,
THAT WAS MY CONSTANT CRY.

BUT AT LAST CAME THE THE TIME,
THE TIME TO DIE.
I WENT BEFORE GOD,
I STOOD WITH DOWNCAST EYES.

IN HIS HANDS GOD HELD A BOOOK
IT WAS ‘THE BOOK OF LIFE’
