My life feels chaotic; I’m laboring
With not enough hours in each day
Fatigue… is my constant companion
Overwhelmed… too tired to pray
Days; are filled with commitments
Wearing down; a body once strong
The darkness no longer a beacon of rest
But an extension of a day already long
I work so many hours to pay my debts
Exhaustion overtakes me; yet denies sleep
Thinking of the worries tomorrow brings
Overwhelmed… I do nothing but weep
The burden is heavy; my shoulders droop
My sight is limited to the path beneath my feet
Your Day is another workday (without You)
Your comfort; your strength I cease to seek
Where did I lose my desire for You?
When did I lose you within my day?
How did I think I could do this alone?
Why have I seemed to have lost my way?
My heart is hurting; crying out for You
In the way… a lost soul calls Your name
Seeking Your presence… forever near
Forgiveness; without repercussion; or shame
The world moves on; as I stop and hold on to You
Relinquishing burdens; fears that ruled my soul
Trusting a way will be revealed to me
Time for You; to be with me; feeling whole
My burdens still exist in this world I’ve made
But are lighter when shared with the One above
My debt still exists; but without lingering fear
For all is possible when guided by a Father’s love
As I walk on this earth I will gaze up at You
Feel Your love as You guide me on my way
Sharing my laughter, my tears and my fears… with you
Making time for You… each and every day.
