Ain't Got Time
by Buford Abner, recorded by James & Martha Carson

1.
Ain't got time to stop and tarry
Ain't got time to stop and tarry
Ain't got time to stop and tarry
I got a message I must carry
Ain't got time to stop and tarry in this world

Chorus:
He said preach (been a-preachin')
He said pray (I been prayin')
He said for me to keep preachin' and prayin' night and day
When the roll is called up yonder 
I want to be found in that number
Ain't got time to stop and tarry in this world

2.
He told me to preach the gospel
He told me to preach the gospel
He told me to preach the gospel
Just as he did the old apostles
Ain't got time to stop and tarry in this world

Repeat Chorus

3.
When I leave this troubled land
When I leave this troubled land
When I leave this troubled land
I'm gonna take my saviour by the hand
Ain't got time to stop and tarry in this world

Repeat Chorus
