Often isn't soon enough To live the word of God For only by spending time with Him Will you walk where you have trod Often isn't soon enough To pray to Him alone For only in the quiet time Will you reap what you have sown It is a presence not a task That gains what you desire Not work or human effort But a burning inward fire Often isn't soon enough It must be constant life To be filled to overflowing To withstand all worldly strife Seek the giver not the gift And you will rest content Each day will be victorious As your body becomes His tent Often isn't soon enough It must be all in all Where you live in holy wonder At the Masters beck and call So learn the secret of the Spirit Dwelling in your heart And you will be a chosen vessel Having made a fresh new start Jesus is the truth and life He is the very way To freedom and true happiness Make Him your friend this day Amen |
