Busy Ado, Keeps Us From You

We are far too busy, but have good intentions, to live for Christ.


Weary at night, we sure might be,
if we feel we have failed Thee.
A schedule so full with much ado
keeps us away from devotions and you.

Forgiveness now we sure do ask.
Failure and dismay-please-don’t last.
We close our eyes and fall asleep;
peace for us, He gives, we seek.

We promise tomorrow, we’ll find time
in a quiet place, search The Divine.
A job, two children, a party to go;
such an honor, these people, to know.

When at last, our head does rest
upon our pillow, we did our best
to bring a bonus from those we work.
We’ll try at morning with coffee’s perk.

Day after day we follow this routine,
hustle and bustle, a busy scene.
The Savior stands, oversees our strife,
and He can blot our name from the Book of Life.
