About My Work

I must now be about my work,

There’s plenty still to do,
But while I work I’ll keep my thoughts
Ever turned towards You.
 
In You I find I have purpose
That I can’t find alone,
And in You I have found a faith
That warms my heart of stone.
 
I do not curse the work I do,
I’m grateful it is mine,
For it means You have need of me
And that suits me just fine.
 
So I must be about it now,
But, Lord, keep me near You,
For I suspect I’ll need Your help
Before this day is through.
