Nothing At Stake?

Every morning a choice you must make

Should you make time for Bible and prayer;

You may think nothing much is at stake,

God prob'bly wouldn't even meet you there.

Extra sleep you could surely use.

Or time to get some housework done;

Or just maybe you should choose,

To laugh, play, and have some fun.

But you see not the Lord standing near,

Longing to meet you each day;

You do not see that quivering tear

As away from your Saviour you stay.

You'll miss what God has for you

By not taking time for the Lord;

Trials you may go through

To get you back into His Word.

But if you will take time for God,

He will surely meet with you;

Then no matter what path you may trod,

He will walk with you, too.
