A purpose Driven Life

As the days go by I feel like I want to sit and cry

Lord you know me more than I know myself

And Lord though I have worked and studied hard I am still sitting on the shelf

Sometimes I complain and murmur Lord you know its true

And the truth is Lord sometimes I just don't know what to do.

I pray, I cry and seek your face each day

Because Lord I never want to go astray

So I purposed in my heart to do whatever task am given

Because I know that by your Holy Spirit I am driven

Not only for financial gain and the status that go with it

But Lord you know I have studied hard and it seems like no one cares a bit.

I am given the most menial of tasks to do

And when I am done Lord not even a little "Thank you?"

I laugh to myself so many times they must think am mad

But the joy of the Holy Ghost keeps me from doing bad.

I could cuss and quarrel like others do

But Lord what does that say about my relationship with you?

And so Lord these are the reasons why I just sit and let things ride

You promised to keep us in perfect peace who in your word abide

And so Lord as the devil uses them I glorify you each day and glide.

So Lord from my heart for today this is what I pray

Just give me the strength I need to continue abiding in your way.
