Thought for the Day

The
clock is running
Tick
tock, tick tock.
The
future’s coming
Tick
tock, tick tock.
In
Spring the clocks go forward
In
Fall the clocks go back.
Making
life’s decisions
You
feel you’re on the rack.
Do this, or do that
How can I decide?
Is this life for living,
Or_am I just here for the ride?
Worry, thinking, heartache:
My head begins to throb;
Is the value of my life
Just related to my job?
Will
she, won’t she
Decide
to marry me?
Even
though I’m ready
To
go down on bended knee.
Maybe
she’ll reject me:
What’ll
I do next?
Maybe
she will change her mind –
The
privilege of her sex.
In the throes of all my worries
In the midst of all my fears
There’s a still small voice that calms me
By my side through all my years.
My father-God’s beside me
And He cares and comforts me
So I live my life by moments
It’s in now
that I can be.
The
years that God has given me
Grow
shorter by the day
I’m
nearer heaven than I was
It
could be no other way.
And
one day when I stand there
I’ll
see God start to smile
He’ll
say You’re my beloved child:
Your life has been worth
while.
So amid life’s bustle
Thank God that He’s your rock
And never worry at that sound
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.
