As I Hustle Along

Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.








Psalms 32:7
"Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished".

Lao Tzu








As I hustle along life's busy pathways,






My blind heart fails to take notice of the days.






Never taking heed of God's ethereal displays,






Completely set in my ways.













In such a hurry am I,






To never note the birds in the sky.






Oblivious to the Creator on high,






As my time slips by.













Rushing through to get to where I want to be,






Not a second to look at the rainbow in front of me.






Too busy to look at the Master's awesome guarantee,






Unaware of the Heaven's jubilee.













But Jesus in a moment stops me some how,






Leaving me to reflect on the here and now.






Reminding me to enjoy the tears and laughter He endows,






For each heartbeat is a gift He allows.
