PLENTY OF TIME

by: Clay McLean

1. I got up on Sunday morning, went to the church at ten,
I listened to the words that I'd heard time and time again;
The preacher spoke of sinful lives, it seemed he spoke of mine,
But I was young, I had plenty of time.
CHORUS:
Plenty of time to decide where I'm bound,
to eternal darkness or to a heavenly crown.;
I'm just a young man, not yet in my prime,
So I'll just wait, I've got plenty of time.
2. I walked on down life's pathway, living as I wished to live;
Out to beat the other fellow, out to get what life could give;
Making money is not sinful, having fun is not a crime,
So I'll just wait, I've got plenty of time.
CHORUS:
Plenty of time to decide where I'm bound,
to eternal darkness or to a heavenly crown;
I'm just a young man, not yet in my prime,
So I'll just wait, I've got plenty of time.
3. Before I knew what had happened life's scenes had passed away,
And millions stood before God's throne for it was judgment day;
Now eternal darkness beckons, and the name it calls is mine,
But I thought I had plenty of time.
CHORUS:
Eternity waits, I've got plenty of time,
to think of all the days Christ could have been mine;
My chance is over, earth's days are left behind,
And here am I, I've got plenty of time.
Tag: Now I've got nothing but plenty of time.
