Obligations seem to never end! My mind is not clear-my vision is hazy.
I wake up in the morning and
I think “Here we go again!”
Instead of seeing new opportunities I wonder “Will it ever end?”
Instead of seeing new opportunities I wonder “Will it ever end?”
I’m chasing dreams, chasing
time. Life keeps exploding forward with this loud ticking!
I want to slow down or just
stop-but the clock keeps on insisting…
that I keep going, rushing,
moving forward! I want to cover all my bases.
It’s hard! Everyone has
needs-including me- I’m waiting for a payday.
I look around seeking
comfort. Is there anyone else who sees this?
I wonder if I’m the only one who has it all wrong-or did we ALL miss it.
I wonder if I’m the only one who has it all wrong-or did we ALL miss it.
The goal that we’ve been
called to is spiritual peace- but it makes me too quiet.
I think that if I keep on
going, one day, I’ll simply acquire it.
A crowd of people filter in and out of my life-I think that they know me.
I stand right in front of them but their eyes seem blank-as if their mind is not free.

I stand right in front of them but their eyes seem blank-as if their mind is not free.
It seems life is like a fairground
carousel-it spins and spins- in a circuit.
Like all the rest of us, I think
that if I just stay on the ride it’ll all be worth it.
I chose to buy the ticket for that enticing carousel.
I thought it would be a joyride but it's put me through an earthly hell.
I chose to buy the ticket for that enticing carousel.
I thought it would be a joyride but it's put me through an earthly hell.
Charmed with lights, music
and mirrors I have been willfully held in prison.
My mind is so distracted, Lord-I
have forgotten why you have risen.
An Angel of Light can be a
delightful deception-
And the world can be a
carnival that throws a nice reception.
This world is a spectical and has made me a puppet.
If I would just step away
from all this noise I could hush it.
Lord, you say “Come to me all who are burdened and I
will give you rest.”
Help me! Help my unbelief-for I’m tired of this mess.
Round and round in my mind, I
go. It’s nothing but a war!
If I could remember that
you’ve overcome this world-I could get out of the muck and mar!
I know this world wants to bury me and has already dug the gravesite.
I know these struggles with moral good and universal evil are battling for my birthright!
I know this world wants to bury me and has already dug the gravesite.
I know these struggles with moral good and universal evil are battling for my birthright!
I need clarity to remember
the depth and height of your importance.
My soul needs to surrender to
your mind-bending omnipotence!
I am a spiritual being with a
life full of relevance.
I am cloaked in your
righteousness; blessed with an inheritance.
Lord, thank you that I am a
foreigner living in all the craziness.
You will change all this in a
mere moment-including my temporary inhabitance.
Spiritually retreating out of
the gates of hell I am no longer afraid and now waiting in faithful expectation.
Soon, you will release us all
from this worldly infestation…
…of pain, worry, fear and
strife.
The war-worn carnival is
closing; I have a ticket home! You’ve saved my life!

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
neither angels nor demons,
neither the present note the future, nor any powers,
neither height nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation
will separate us
from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, our Lord."
