Hurrying and Worrying

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So much to do, I’m overwhelmed

Without the need to be.

I can’t keep track of all the things

Piling on top of me.

 

I’m spiraling like a whirlwind

With crisis in my wake,

When what I need to do right now

Is stop and take a break.

 

I need to break my chain of thought,

My life does not need chains.

I’ve wasted too much time on this,

And so little remains.

 

I need to break free of the lists

Of all that I should do

And focus on what’s important…

Right now, Lord, that is You.

 

Right now that’s peace to still my thoughts,

To ease my harried mind,

And You’re the greatest source of peace

That I will ever find.

 

Just sitting where I can hear You

Brings joy into my heart.

And helps my scattered thoughts reform,

To make a brand new start.

 

You are the peace I always need,

Though, at times, I forget.

You are my rock, my solid ground.

You’ve never failed me yet!

 

Matthew 6: 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

A Fitting Song

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I sing to You within my joy,

I sing to You in pain,

I sing to You when I’m alone

For You will still remain.

 

I sing to You when life is good,

I sing to You in doubt,

I sing to You when I am lost

For You will lead me out.

 

I sing to You at each sunset,

I sing to You at dawn,

I sing to You when I grow weak

For You help me hold on.

 

Lord, I will sing to You each day

No matter what I face,

For my heart cannot help but sing

While living in Your Grace.

 

Psalm 147:1

Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.

Troubles and Grace

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The world was weighing on my soul,

Crushing me in between

A broken heart and outright rage

At all that I have seen.

 

But then something came back to me,

Something that I had heard,

A promise to which I could cling

That I’d found in The Word.

 

There will be troubles in this world,

Of that I am quite sure,

But He who formed it, guards it still

And His grace is the cure.

 

For He who overcame this world

Still watches over me,

And, though this world may break my heart,

His Peace will set me free!  

 

John 16:33

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
