No Time to Waste

It’s time to pray, not forced but our time to give
Of our soul's freedom from the chains of self
Once prayer was nothing more than vain repetition
A talk with God!? The wind the words did blow away

But now not in vain for we know He is our Father
And access to the throne of grace we now have
So now prayer’s a choice as days go passing by
To spend our time with Him and not as before

When hours in vain pursuits we spent looking
In search of self’s many sided pleasures
And glorify the Lord Most High we did not
But wasted days running after foolish goals

So now we rather choose the High Holy Way
And stay behind the veil with Him, our God
Where pleasure’s now eternal with our Beloved
And instead of vain pursuits our time is His!
