It happens way to often
Because my wandering mind
Is concentrated elsewhere
And I lose track of time
The day escapes me quickly
And suddenly I find
My birthday wish is once again
Belated and behind

It’s common to be late
We think it’s quite all right
But soon will come a time
When late will pay a price
If you do not know Jesus
When the trumpet sounds
We’ll all rise to heaven
And you’ll stay on the ground

Today’s the day to make the choice
Make Jesus Christ your King
You’ll bow before Him one day
Why not give Him everything
This world and all its riches
Will soon decay and die
But if you do know Jesus
You’ll have eternal life
