The World Is Busy
by Barbara Philbrook

The world is busy, there is so much to do.
Has all of this busyness effected you?

Are you so busy you don't see the signs?
Have you read the Word and seen them defined?

Have you taken the time to talk to the Father today,
or are you so busy you can't kneel to pray?

Have you listened to the news, heard of the calamities?
Have you seen all of the sadness and adversities?

Have you heard of the murders as people shout,
of the gun wielding people running about?

There are children killing each other every day.
It's becoming so popular it doesn't shock us in the same way!

We can't trust our leaders who run the land.
They look out for themselves not us as planned.

We can't count on a neighbor as we used to.
They all have their own things they have to do.

We are all responsible for ourselves in this day,
and it will go better if we take time to pray.

The world is busy but God is still there,
and He will guide you if you seek Him in prayer.
