240613 Lose Yourself

 Lose Yourself

Do you ever feel you lose yourself 

In loads of dirty clothes 

Or endless list of daily tasks

That only ever grows

Feel nobody sees what you do

Let alone appreciate it

Are overwhelmed and burdened 

Til you feel you want to quit

But, quitting's not an option 

Neither is running away

And so you simply carry on

Losing yourself more each day

For surely there is more to you 

Than long list of "To Do"

Yet, so much of what must be done

Seems to fall on " you know who"

Have lost sight of the real you

In endless drudgery 

Of work commutes or shopping carts

Is that all there is to be?

When younger, used to lose yourself 

In dreams of future days

But with time's passage, you and dreams

Have gone your separate ways 

Perhaps you used to lose yourself

In creative pursuit

But your responsibilities 

Have become a substitute 

Is all of this just discontent 

'Bout who you have become?

Or that the life you're living

Doesn't feel like worthy one?

Trust in the Lord that He has put you

Right where you belong

And all the work that you now do

Was His work all along

For God sees how you faithfully

Do all you're called to do

So praise Him for His perfect plans 

Lose yourself in worship, too
