The Drive of Devotion
Been up all night and day for the millionth time…squandered my time and committed a careless crime – yes, I do it all the time like making typical rhyme
Actually, I will be willing to overcome the waves of emotion
Restlessness got a hold of me exceedingly
So tired, yet so wide awake unfortunately
With my potential and willpower, I will outrun the world's commotion
Depression wars manifested inside me unbearably
I can’t stand the awful, ascending anxiety
I won’t ever welcome in the arising insanity
Your benevolent, brazen Spirit has motivated me with majestic motion
Embarrassed that I have accepted my feeble soul with open arms
God promised me He won’t do me harm…
I have hope still through and through and it shines like jewel charms
But, hopefully, my faith will keep me warm
I know that Your fruit is refreshing and resembles Your deep, driven devotion
I spend my hours in my cozy, yet gloomy room of doom
I spend my days and nights, cradled up in my clueless cranium
I spend my minutes on worthless cares and worries that are in full bloom
I want to end up spending my seconds on You instead of making this pain inside numb
I want to prove to myself and my Father I am worthy of receiving His blessings and Kingdom
Oh Lord of Accord, You never fail to bring abundant, virtuous happiness time and time again
I’m sorry that I have given up, trying to be first place in life's race
I will no longer be a burden to You and I will face my consequences for my trespasses
I will endure these tribulations by embracing the trace of vast grace
Remember this, I pray, I will push forward without coming up with ridiculous excuses
The one and only Father of truth will shed serenity to more than a million men, but none of us knows when
Building up might, day and night, to fight the grand fight by taking divine flight
I shall rise from my ashes and be higher than a kite in the clouds of calm delight
I welcome the sun as it shimmers splendidly – Christ is the marvelous sun, so bright
Compassion and humility is what you honor me with after I start to practice self-control and patience aside from my reckless, impulsive adrenaline
I have sought rest from my daily struggles that I face
God has given me comforting strength to finish the race
I am extremely grateful and thankful that He abides by me and my family's side, even when we are left to wonder where He has been
Honestly, I need His endless encouraging enlightenment in a remarkable moment in time…It’s about time I use my time wisely and productively to its prime
