It Only Takes A Minute

It only takes a minute

To stop to offer praise

To thank the Lord for all He’s done

And for His faithful care.

But a minute we find hard to take

Involved in worldly things

I can’t imagine lasting joy

These wants could ever bring.

“There’s no time for the Lord”

“I’m busy don’t you see?”

“I’m waiting”, He said softly,

“I want to set you free.”

Please stop and take a minute

To give Him his due praise

Tell Him that you need Him

In Oh so many ways.

Let His love possess you

Give up yourself for Him

Find lasting joy and endless peace

That nothing else can bring.

Brenda Edwards 1981
