The Lord Came

THE LORD CAME

The Lord came, but you were out
You had things to do no doubt
He came while you were away
You missed Him what a sad day.

The Lord came to see you
You didn't have time, you had things to do
You had to run here and there
You didn't have time for a prayer

The Lord came, where were you
Was it important what you had to do 
You missed out, what a shame
You weren't ready when the Lord came
