Men Are So Busy
G C G
Quickly the days that are numbered pass by
G D
Quickly the days of God's judgement draws nigh
G C G
So heedless of danger we're living today
D G
God's love and mercy we're throwing away
C
Men are so busy
G
With worldly achievments
The mercy of Jesus
D
They daily downtrod
C
God in his Heaven
G
He must look down in pity
D
On those who have carelessley
G C G D G C G
Forgotten their God
G C G
Well he warned of the dangers that lie in their path
G D
They heed not his mercy and kindle God's wrath
G C G
The pleasure of this world is their only care
D G
For where you have pleasure their hearts will be there
C
Men are so busy
G
With worldly achievments
The mercy of Jesus
D
They daily downtrod
C
God in his Heaven
G
He must look down in pity
D
On those who have carelessley
G
Forgotten their God
SOLO
G C G
He said that his kingdom was not of this world
G D
So what is the profit of silver and gold
G C G
So cheap it will seem on that great judgement day
D G
Whebe fire and great heat will melt it away
C
Men are so busy
G
With worldly achievments
The mercy of Jesus
D
They daily downtrod
C
God in his Heaven
G
He must look down in pity
D
On those who have carelessley
G C G
Forgotten their God
