I Am Busy, Lord

I am busy, Lord, I know that You can see,
That I am as busy as I feel that I can be;
Responsibilities from here to there,
It seems I am constantly running everywhere.
Help me as I traverse these busy days,
Help me as I travel so many ways;
Keep me on the path that is good and right,
Help me lay my head down in peace at night.

I am busy, Lord, I know that You can see,
That I am as busy as I feel that I can be;
Responsibilities from here to there,
It seems I am constantly running everywhere.
It is not to be less busy that I pray,
I want to fill each moment of every day;
My prayer is to never be so busy in my life,
That I forget about You, my family, or my wife.
Help me to juggle every responsibility,
To do my very best at whatever my task may be;
But to always hold Your light before my eyes,
In all of those moments, as each one flies.

I am busy, Lord, I know that You can see,
That I am as busy as I feel that I can be;
Responsibilities from here to there,
It seems I am constantly running everywhere.
But for now, O Lord, if it is your holy will,
Just give me strength to climb each hill,
To keep my eyes focused, sharp and clear;
To bear the loads of life as they appear.
Till I’m not busy, Lord, as you will see,
That there’s a place with You, for me,
Responsibilities will have all gone away,
And I will get to rest through eternal day.
