Waste no Time
Music by Pekka Okkonen
Lyrics by Harri Peltola

Renewed is the story
Men turn a deaf ear
Revealed is God’s glory
They’ve sought far and near
How few the seekers, how vain the search
Priests distort the mission of their church
Priests distort the mission of their church

There’s a whole lotta truth
In the Gospel word
But its preachers fight
With their guns and swords
It’s time to listen to what Bahá’u’lláh says
His writings fulfill what Christ said yesterday
His writings fulfill what Christ said yesterday

Chorus:
If you’ve prayed: Thy Kingdom come
Know by now: His will is done
Christ has returned as the Glory of God
And He’s known by the name Bahá’u’lláh
You should not waste no time
You should not waste no time

Saxophone solo by Jan Schaper

Chorus

You gotta “free yourself from the fetters of this world”
And “seize your chance for it will come to you no more”
At a time when mankind is in tribulations
Waste no time in secondary obligations
Waste no time
Waste no time
(Baha'u'llah, The Hidden Words, Persian #40)

Chorus

I ain’t gonna waste my time
I ain’t gonna waste my time
Hey man, you should not waste no time
I ain’t gonna waste my time
