lyrics
Take a little time for Jesus, He took a little time for you
He took a little time at Cal’vy, that’s what God asked Him to do.
The cross wasn’t built for Jesus, it was built for me and you
So, take a little time for Jesus, He took a little time for you.
Verse 1
He could have called a thousand angels they would have come at His command
But He chose to hang there on the cross… fulfill salvation’ plan.
Then they took our Savior from the cross, and laid Him in a grave.
And He spent a little time inside the earth for the world He came to save.
Oh, grave where is your victory…death where is your sting
For the tomb couldn’t hold the Son of God… He’s Risen, Christ our King
Can you see the nail scarred hands and feet and the wound there in His side?
Those scars weren’t meant for Jesus, but they’re the reason that He died.
Chorus
Verse 2
Oh, take a little time on Monday, tell someone that God cares.
And take a little time on Tuesday, He’ll listen to your prayers.
Then take a little time on Wednesday, and Thursday, Friday too,
Preach the Gospel to the world, we’ve got to spread the news.
When Saturday mornin rolls around, come-on get out of bed
The multitudes are hungry… there’s Manna to be fed.
When Sunday mornin’ here again, I hope to see your face
‘Cause we come into His house for strength to go out and be His grace.
Chorus
Ending
Oh, take a little time for Jesus, He took a little time for you.
He took a little time there on the cross
He took a little time to pay the cost
He took a little time ‘cause we were lost.
So, take a little time for Jesus, He took a little time for you.
Yeah, take a little time for Jesus, He took a little time for you!
