Taking Time
Circumstances seem daunting,
Responsibility takes control.
Life today is overwhelming,
My peace, daily life, I have no role.
Confusion works to rule,
How can I praise? No time!
If I take time out today,
How will I make that needed dime?
What?! You want my time?
You want me to stop my routine?
You want me to focus on you?
When things get better, a calmer scene.
Isn’t Sunday morning enough?
You see how hard we work to get there.
The kids fighting the dog runs away,
But we come and sing without a care.
What?! You want me daily?
Taking time out to just look at You?
But who will wash the dishes?
Who will supervise my crew?
OK Lord. I’m here, just like You asked.
I don’t know what to say to praise.
So for a few minutes, I’ll love you.
My hands in worship raise.
Wow! God, Your presence so sweet,
My cares and worries far away.
Your Beauty surrounds me in glory,
Your peace taking over today.
OK Lord, I understand it,
My life struggles are relieved.
So I commit my time to you,
No longer will I be self-deceived.
