I got up one Sunday morning Went to church at ten I listened to the words I'd heard time and time again The preacher spoke of sinful eyes It seemed he spoke of mine But I was young I had plenty of time Chorus: Plenty of time to decide where I'm bound To eternal darkness or to a heavenly crown I'm just a young man Not yet in my prime So I'll just wait I've got plenty of time Bridge: You know as I was traveling down life's highway Living just the way I wanted to live I was out to beat the other guy And to try to get whatever life could give Now I know that making money, that wasn't a sin And having fun, that wasn't a crime I thought I'd wait I had plenty of time Repeat Chorus Before I knew what had happened, life seemed to have passed away And millions stood before God's throne for it was Judgment Day Now eternal darkness blackens and the name he calls is mine But I had thought that I had plenty of time Eternity waits I've got plenty of time to think of all the days Christ could have been in mine My chance is over Life's days are left behind And here am I, I've got plenty of time Now I've got nothing, but plenty of time
