No Time For You
It’s the end of the day and time for prayer.
Though I have gone on in my thoughtless way
With scarcely a thought of you on this day,
I have known I would find you waiting here.
No time was found for devotions today.
Keeping busy was I with my affairs,
Thinking you could wait for my nightly prayers.
But you have been helping me any way.
I am thanking you now for faithful care.
You were here when I turned the clocks ahead
You are here when I’m kneeling by my bed.
You are present when I am unaware.
I must listen to what you have to say
As I’m going about my daily chores,
And remember that all my time is yours.
My prayers need not wait for end of day.
