Ode to a busy life
The litter of life's possibilities
can be suffocating at times
They creep into our souls
fill up our hearts and mind
They occupy our efforts
dropping petals in our way
O how we seek to clear
their clutter and dismay
But how O Lord to do this
be faithful and yet clear
Responsible yet grounded
as we seek to find our way
The answer's not in future
calculated from today
Carefully crafting actions
lest we go astray
For truly efforts fail us
if in our strength alone
Or lest we fail to realize
who's really on the throne
For faithful are You always
to realize our need
And understand how truly frail
we really are indeed!
It's only in the present
and by faith alone
Can we find peace and answers?
O yes! ... by faith alone
