Seven days hath every week With 56 hours spent in sleep
For 112 we spend awaking While 21 with food partaking
Now were left with 91 Down goes 40 - there's work to be done
51 hours in our week remain I stand in church and sing a refrain
But the sermon's run late I look at my watch and I hesitate
I've spent one hour in spiritual fare The big game is on and I must get there
51 hours to do as I please Very few minutes spent on my knees
"But wait", I'm heard to say "I read a devotional every day"
"I'm yours, dear Savior, so do what You will But please, do hurry, There's no time to kill"
"If you saw my schedule and the work that I do If you knew the stress I've been going through"
Two hours a week I spend with my Lord If more than that - I might get bored.
Just two short hours in 168? I finally realize an appointment awaits
I weep as I take intentional time To spend with my Savior - Jesus - Divine
"O how I've missed my time with You And I plan to stay - as long as I need to.
"You gave your life to rescue mine And all I can think is, I have no time.
I say, "You are my life's foundation" As shifting sands lead to temptation
You gave Your life because You love me While the hours I give are two, sometimes three
But Your grace extends to my lack of minutes While Your attention to me remains without limits.
So today is the day I invite You along I've been time-stingy, I admit I was wrong.
