The Poem


Just something I got in an e-mail and I thought it would be nice to share w/ you guys-


Feel free to copy and paste into an e-mail -


> THE POEM
> > I knelt to pray but not for long,
> > I had too much to do.
> > I had to hurry and get to work
> > For bills would soon be due.
> > So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
> > And jumped up off my knees.
> > My Christian duty was now done
> > My soul could rest at ease.....
> > All day long I had no time
> > To spread a word of cheer
> > No time to speak of Christ to friend! s,
> > They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
> > No time, no time, too much to do,
> > That was my constant cry,
> > No time to give to souls in need
> > But at last the time, the time to die.
> > I went before the Lord,
> > I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
> > For in his hands God held a book;
> > It was the book of life.
> > God looked into his book and said
> > "Your name I cannot find.
> > I once was going to write it down...
> > But never found the time"

Okay it's kind of sad, but I'm sharing it anyway.  Ironically enough I skimmed it before pasting it here.

I heard one similar--


 


"Whenever I pass my little church


I linger for a visit


So when I die and am carried in


The Lord won't say who is it?"

I like them both, there is another one that states:


 


Don't make six strong men carry you into church!

Very wise words, everyone.  I have one poem that I love on a tape in my car, but not memorized.  I'll have to write it down and post it.

A Rapture Poem


 


There’s a Man in yonder Glory,


I have loved for many years.


He has cleared my guilty conscience,


And has banished all my fears.


He is coming in a moment,


In the twinkling of an eye,


And no time will be allotted,


Just to utter one goodbye.


No time to kiss the husband,


Or embrace the loving wife,


If they are but united


In the bonds of holy life.


 


Are you ready, Christian, ready,


For the shout and trump and voice?


Will His coming make you tremble,


Or cause you to rejoice?


Are you walking, talking with Him,


Daily making Him your care?


Do you live so close to Heaven,


That a breath could waft you there?
