one source

I feel in me the 'need' to run
To crush daily tasks til the day is done
To stand over every checked-off goal
And then lay down peacefully.  What a goal--

It doesn't happen that way, to tell you the truth
It is great to get things done, quite important to!
But my source of peace won't come from my control,
A life lived in satisfaction doesn't come from strength of my own.

It comes from my God and running to HIM.
Sitting at His feet, and...WAITING on Him.
Time with my Savior gives me fuel
To handle anything the day should bring,
And even help me know which thing I ought to do
Or not do.

So I acknowledge to God I need to bow
And ask for grace to humble myself.
I pick up my Bible and step outside
To sit by the river and read of the Giver of life.
