THE POEM
>> 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"
>>
>> Now do you have the time
>> to pass it on?
