Too Busy
I ought to do this, I ought to go there,
There are people whose problems
I really should share ...
But I'm sorry, I haven't the time.
There's work with the lonely waiting for me,
The old confined to their homes
That I really should see ...
But I'm sorry, I haven't the time.
There are jobs in the church, I ought really to do,
It is all so much harder
If left to the few ...
But I'm sorry, I haven't the time.
The Bible's there gathering dust on the shelf,
I know others read it;
I should read it myself ...
But I'm sorry, I haven't the time.
We all need some time when to God we can turn
His will to discover,
His guidance to learn ...
But I'm sorry, I haven't the time.
Worship’s important, I ought to be there
To give praise to my Father
And fellowship share ...
But I'm sorry, I haven't the time.
God's busy too; all the world's In His care!
But he never says,
When I cry out in prayer,
I'm sorry, I haven't the time!
