Men Are So Busy
from the album "It's For You"

(Hazel Houser)


Quickly the days that are numbered pass by
Quickly the days of God's judgement draws nigh
So heedless of danger we're living today
God's love and mercy we're throwing away

Men are so busy
With worldly achievments
The mercy of Jesus
They daily downtrod
God in his Heaven
He must look down in pity
On those who have carelessley
Forgotten their God

Well he warned of the dangers that lie in their path
They heed not his mercy and kindle God's wrath
The pleasure of this world is their only care
For where you have pleasure their hearts will be there

Men are so busy
With worldly achievments
The mercy of Jesus
They daily downtrod
God in his Heaven
He must look down in pity
On those who have carelessley
Forgotten their God

He said that his kingdom was not of this world
So what is the profit of silver and gold
So cheap it will seem on that great judgement day
When fire and great heat will melt it away

Men are so busy
With worldly achievments
The mercy of Jesus
They daily downtrod
God in his Heaven
He must look down in pity
On those who have carelessley
Forgotten their God
