SHORT STORY AND SONG


 This is a very short story and song
 It's all about You God and Your glory
You deserve so much more than I'm giving You
 You are to be praised and I sure do

 If feel right now like a waste and at a loss
 Cause You did so much when You died on that cross
 My struggles are so very minute and unnecessary to say the least
 But, I'm fighting again a horrible beast
 Does it make my weak voice sound like a roar
 As I fight the lions so I can be with You forever more
 With all there is for me to use, I should not for a minute be bored
 
 What can I do to make my body get along with my soul
 Am I fighting for the wrong goal
 I'm breaking up inside and out too
 Getting confused as to what to do
 
 I'll not hurry and I'll wait for You
 To lead me and guide me til I'm through
 You've made me a person with likes to see results
 But as I strive for a place in line, I get so many insults
 
 Why do some just want to harm and play games
 It's so bad and many players are in this game
 They join like vulchers that hunt their prey
 Greedy and heartless and sinning in every way
 Are You using me now to plant Your Seed
 In all who are lost and who are in dire need
 

 What else can I do Lord, if these sicknesses I must carry around
 I feel like I'm crawling and I'm not on the ground
