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"

I love that!! Did you find that someplace or write that on your own??

It was actually sent to me and the author was unknown......It's neat huh.

Assuming thats from a Christian perspective its blasphemic.
its implies that works gets you eternal life/heaven: Incorrect.

I never thought of it in that sense before. I have seen that a few times and I liked it.

I do not think of the taking to to pray as the most important part but rather the 'hidden' (perhaps) message;

No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.


I think one would need to believe that Christ came, was crucified, rose again in order to reconcile us to God, in order to truly spread the "Good News".

That's just the perspective I got from reading it.

My goodness, I should have noticed that typo.

I do not think of the taking TIME to pray ....
