Too Late

 Too Late

If only I would have said "Yes!" to Thee.

For I must follow the man in the hood.

But now it is too late -- too late for me.

I know now that You were right -- NOW I see.

"Let me do it over, You know I would."

If only I would have said "Yes!" to Thee.

I thought I had lots of time to live free;

You  came sooner than I thought that You would. 

But now it is too late -- too late for me. 

"Every knee shall bow?" I am on my knees!

Asking "let me in!"  If only You could...

If only I would have said "Yes!" to Thee.  

Other than constant love, You let me be

To live my life the way I thought I should. 

But now it is too late -- too late for me.  

How well earned is my fate!  Hell is for me. 

"Yes, Lord!  Yes!"  I scream, though it does not good. 

If only I would have said "Yes!" to Thee.

But now it is too late -- too late for me.
