When I Get Time

In my Father’s house are many mansions
If it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
The Holy Bible. John 14:2


When I Get Time

When I get time
I know what I shall do
I shall build character
To be in the mansion with You

I shall strive to live
By what all I have heard
When I get time
I shall live by Your word

When I get time
I shall live Your way
In all of my actions
Not by the words I say

But when death faces me
I can no longer say
When I get time
I shall live God’s way

Time goes quickly
By minutes each day
When I get time
I shall live Your way

Oh but I do have time
God has allotted to me
I'm building character
To be the best I can be

So when the time comes
When You take me home
I will be in Your mansion
On God’s holy throne
