You got time to steal from others,
You got time to lie against your brother.
You got time to gamble your money,
You got time to watch that trash TV.
But when it comes for time with God,
You'd rather feast on earthen laud.
My heart broke apart when you told me:
"I ain't got time,
I got better things to do.
I ain't got time,
Don't bother me with Him
Cause I ain't got time."
Everyone's got time for trucks, cars, and vans,
Everyone's got time to be a football fan.
Everyone's got time for video games,
Everyone's got time to increase their fame.
But when it comes time to thank Christ,
They'd rather shoot up or throw some dice.
I began to speak about Christ and The World replied:
"We ain't got time,
We got better things to do.
We ain't got time,
Don't bother us with Him
Cause We ain't got time."
(Oh, Lord! Please help these people,
I ask in the name Lord Jesus.)
I once had a nightmare,
A dream so barren and dry.
A creation had forgotten its Creator,
People of earth had forgotten who built the earth.
I woke up in tears and sorrow
Realizing my dream was pained reality.
God's creation has no time for The Creator;
What if God had no time for His creation?
What if we ask God for help and He said,
"I ain't got time,
I got better things to do.
I ain't got time,
Don't bother Me with them
Cause I ain't got time."
You may not want time for God,
But God's always got time for you.
You got time to lie against your brother.
You got time to gamble your money,
You got time to watch that trash TV.
But when it comes for time with God,
You'd rather feast on earthen laud.
My heart broke apart when you told me:

Everyone's got time for video games,

You may not want time for God,
But God's always got time for you.
Author notes
Some lyrics God wanted me to share with everyone.
Lyrics so true and so sad; If we don't straighten up and get right with God, He might just forget us completely. Though, His Word says He's always there to help us, and all we have to do is ask.
Hope you enjoy and God Bless!

Bravo! I think this is just wonderful! You hit the nail oln the head with these lyrics. If we have time for all these other things, then to say we don't have time for God really means we don't want to know Him.
We have the time for anything we want to do.
Excellent. I really like what you have to say here.
