No Time To Rest

 

I guess resting’s not in the plan

That You’ve laid out for me.

At least, not for these past few weeks,

As I can plainly see.

But then I realized something  

That I had missed before,

This crazy time that You had planned

Was blessed and so much more.

A brand new job that brings me joy

And a new chance to grow.

Familiar trails I’ve longed to walk,

And reasons I should go.

Old friends I thought that I had lost

Over so many years,

Returned to visit for a while,

Bringing on happy tears.

Special people that I adore

Gathering here with me

To lift our voices once again

In praise and harmony!

So, Lord, while I thought what I’d need

This weekend was to rest,

I really needed what You’d planned.

You always do know best!
