I haven’t time to teach right now,
I’m busy, can’t you see!
You’ll have to look for someone else –
I’ve barely time for me.
I’d like to help and fix that pie,
The family is bereaved.
But you’ll have to talk to someone else –
I’ve barely time for me.
Our Meeting was a big disgrace,
No one came, you see;
I would have come myself, but then
I’ve barely time for me.
There’s so much good I need to do,
Like Christ I’d like to be;
But life is just so hectic, and
I’ve barely time for me.
Were Christ to come today I fear
To think what He might see –
A hurried, harried gadabout
With “barely time for me,”
Lord, help me rearrange my life
And put my eyes on Thee
And then I’ll find the time I need
To serve You faithfully.
