Too Late to Pray

Verse

I awoke on Tuesday morning

and the sun refused to shine

I couldn't tell what was happening

I couldn't clear my mind

but I got my coat and shoes on

I was heading off to work

as I went out through the door

my thoughts took me back to church

And I remembered the preacher calling

my heart burnin' deep within

I knew that God was speaking

calling me to life with Him

but I'd just dug my nails in deeper

into the pew in front of me

though my spirit cried for mercy

my mind would not set me free

Chorus

And God's Spirit's been a calling,

calling to me night and day

and now that He has returned

it's too late to start to pray

For the angel blew the trumpet

and the sun no longer shines

I always thought that I would have

more time to change my mind.

Verse

I called my sister Mary

but no one answered there

her message on the phone

said "trust Jesus with your cares"

So I went down to the church

and pounded on that old oak door

but no one came to greet me

how I wish I'd listened more.

Bridge

Where can I turn for hope now

what must I do to survive?

Since Jesus has returned

and called the church to Him alive

The masses here walk in darkness

I too must walk with them

for when God's Spirit called to me

I heard but turned my back on Him.

Chorus

And God's Spirit's been a calling,

calling to me night and day

and now that He's returned

it's too late to start to pray

For the angel blew the trumpet

and the sun no longer shines

I always thought that I would have

more time to change my mind.

Chorus

And God's Spirit's been a calling,

calling to me night and day

and now that He's returned

it's too late to start to pray

For the angel blew the trumpet

and the sun no longer shines

I always thought that I would have

more time to change my mind.
