Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited, until you try and sit in their pews.
Not Enough Time
I knelt to pray but not for long
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
for Christmas was soon 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 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 the book and said
“Your name I cannot find.
I was going to write it down some day
But never found the time.”
