Connie Smith - Plenty Of Time lyrics

rate me

I got up on Sunday morning went to the church at ten

I listened to the words I'd heard time and time again

The preacher spoke of simple lives it seems he spoke of mine

But I was young I have plenty of time

I walked on down life's pathway living as I wished to live

How to beat the other fellow how to get what life could give

Making money isn't sinful having fun is not a crime

So I'll just wait I've got plenty of time

Plenty of time to decide where I'm bound to eternal darkness or to heaven's grounds

I'm just a young girl not yet in my prime so I'll just wait I've got plenty of time

Before I knew what happened *life's dreams* had passed away

And millions stood before God's throne for it was judgement day

Now eternal darkness beckons and the name it calls is mine

But I thought that I had plenty of time

Eternity waits I've got plenty of time

To think of all the days that Christ could have been mine

Now my chance is over eartht's days have left behind

You and I have plenty of time now I've got nothing but plenty of time
