Don't Wait

Don't you wait too late before you pray. Sinner boy, sinner girl you, you better make peace with your maker. One of these days, one of these ole days. You sure, you gotta meet your undertaker. So don't you wait too late before you pray.

Don't be like, like that rich man. Tell me Lazarus laid there beggin', beggin', beggin', kept right on, kept right on beggin' at his gates. Tell me when that rich man died in hell he lifted up his eyes but you know what, that's when he prayed. But don't you know his prayer, his prayer was to late. That's why I like to take time out, I just wanna tell you, don't you wait too late before you pray. Don't wait 'till they roll you down, down the aisle. Well it's too late, it's too late. When your tongue been glued to the roof of your mouth. Well it's too late. Heart done stop beatin', it's too late; pumpin' blood from one vein to another, well it's too late. Somebody walked up and looked down on you, it's too late. Called your name but you can't answer, well it's too late, it's too late. Don't let it, don't let it, don't let it, don't let it be said, it's too late. So don't you wait too late before you pray.

*Lee Williams, Don't Wait (Album Soulful Healing)
