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 - theres work to be done
51 hours in our week remain
I stand in church and sing a refrain
But the sermons 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, Theres 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 lifes 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.
