No Time
A poem I had found a while back but had just read it a few minutes ago. It describes my current life so well!
NO TIME
I knelt to pray, but not for long,
I had so much to do.
Must hurry off and get to work,
for bills will soon be due.
And so I said a hurried prayer,
Jumped up from off my knees.
My Christian duty now was done,
My soul could be at ease.
All though the day I had no time
to speak a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Christ to friends;
They'd laugh at me I feared.
No time, no time, too much to do,
that was my constant cry.
No time to give to those in need.
At last 'twas time to die.
And when before the Lord I came
I stood with downcast eyes.
Within His hands He 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."
