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 now was 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 constnt cry;
No time to give to souls in need, but at last, it was 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."
