I Left My Cell Phone at Home Today

    I left my cell phone at home today
    I'm sorry I missed your call
    It just wasn't meant to be
    Was it all that important anyway?
    Sometimes it's just good to get away

Answerin' one call and another call comes
Gettin' everything ready 'cause I gotta run
Forget breakfast  Who has time anyway?
I hardly have time to think today

    I left my cell phone at home today
    I'm sorry I missed your call
    It just wasn't meant to be
    Was it all that important anyway?
    Sometimes it's just good to get away

Boarding the plane I finally find my seat
I stretch and settle down and rest my tired feet
Forget callin' in  Who has time anyway?
I hardly had time to think today

    I left my cell phone at home today
    I'm sorry I missed your call
    It just wasn't meant to be
    Was it all that important anyway?
    Sometimes it's just good to get away

Then a man sat next to me and began to explain his role
"What profits a man if he gains the whole world 
                             and loses his own soul?"
As he talked he showed me my desperate need for God
The revelation of Jesus Christ:  He is love

    I left my cell phone at home today
    I'm not sorry Lord I  heard Your call
    It really was meant to be
    It was important all the way!
    This time is was good to get away

I think I'll take time to pray
