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
