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
