THE POEM
Author Unknown
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? |
