No Time is a classic Deliverance song dating back to 1986 and released on their debut album in 1989.

"When I was a teenager, I tried my best to play like Chris Hyde from Deliverance. No Time was always a favorite of mine. I became friends with Chris and even wrote a song with him in the mid/late 2000s. I wanted my drumming on this track to do Chris' incredible performance justice." - Kelly Matthews
*RIP Chris Hyde*

lyrics

Well, I've been through the day and I don't have the time
To speak unto friends or to speak Lord to You
There is only one thing that plagues me
And that is pleasing myself which I've no time to do

No time, no time
Is that my constant cry
No time to help those in need
At last it's time to die
To die

At last before the Lord I came
I stood with downcast eyes
He held a book in His hands
It was the Book of Life
He opened up his book and said, "Your name I cannot find
I was once going to write it down
But I couldn't find the time."

God opened up the book and said, "Your name I cannot find
I was once going to write it down
But I couldn't find the time."
Hey, hey, no, no, time
No time

No time, no time
Is that your constant cry
No time to help those in need
At last it's time to die
No time
