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.
