5088) There is time to read the paper

 ** ENGLISH LYRICS **

1. There is time
to read the paper
Time to write a letter
Time to watch the telly
And there's time to use the phone
Yes, there's time
To weed the garden
And there's time
To get my hair done
But there's just
no time to pray

2. There is time to do the washing,
ironing, cooking, cleaning.
Time to do the shopping, 
Time for endless cups of tea.
Yes, there's time for eating, drinking.
And there's usually
Time for sleeping;
But there's just no time to pray.

3. There is time to voice opinions, 
Time to talk out problems. 
Time to fret and worry
Even time to have a row!
Yes, there's time for lamentations, 
And there's time to take vacations. 
But there's just no time to pray

4. Now then Jesus too was busy
Healing blind and lepers,
Feeding many thousands
Always 'bout His Father's work. 
Jesus spent much time in teaching,
And He did a lot of preaching
But He still took time to pray.

5. Even though my Lord was perfect 
Still He was dependent
On His loving Father,
How much more do I need help? 
Whether time is short or ample 
I will follow Christ's example 
And I will take time to pray 
Yes I must take time pray 
Yes I will take time to pray
