But just then I looked around
and whom should I see,
But the lady that I worked with,
just down the hall from me
We always passed each other
with a wave and a smile
And when the time would allow
we would chat for a little while

We would talk about our jobs, our kids,
and various little things
Our conversations always pleasant
and laughter it would bring
Just then she looked up,
and her teary eyes locked with mine
And my smile faded when I realized
she was in the other line
She began to speak the words
that broke my heart in two
It pains me now to remember
as I share these words with you

She said "Why didn't you tell me
about the God that you do know,
You went to church each week
but never invited me to go?
You never told me of his saving mercy
that he died on the cross
And now it is to late for me
and my soul's eternally lost
I see you saved yourself
and that you are among the chosen few,
But tell me,
couldn't you have made an effort,
to try and save me too?"

Just then I sat straight up in bed,
my heart pounding in my chest
Thank God it was just a dream,
but my spirit still couldn't rest
I realized that I couldn't keep my God
a secret among friends
But that I must learn to always share
the hope that the gospel lends
Not to wait until it is too late
