Ever Weary
I work so hard I might as well work all
day.
My task isn't simple. It's never
finished anyway.
I chose this line of work, and I know
I'll never quit,
But often I wonder how I never get to
sit.
I have thought of giving up, having a
little fun,
but then I am patiently reminded that
I work for the One.
He sits up in heaven, but He works here
below,
He is the Conquerer who vanquishes all
the every foe.
And how could I even consider stopping,
when I consider what I've seen
Of His mercy and His grace.
So I press even on, I'm gonna win this
race.
So sure, I know where I stand,
I know I'm safely hidden in His hand;
but still I wonder when I will run free,
away from these worldy wearies that ever
trouble me.
