Too Busy

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
Too busy are we midst the whirl and the stress Of our life as the days come and go,— Too busy to water with prayers and with tears The seed we abundantly sow.
Too busy with working for Jesus to pause And sit at his footstool of prayer; Too busy commanding and guarding his field To learn what his orders are there.
Too busy with routine of cares in the home To seek him alone through the day; Too busy in striving to faithfully serve To listen to him and to pray.
How Satan doth gloat o’er his subtle decoy Of winding our life in this coil! He knows when too busy to watch unto prayer Our triumph at last he will foil.
O guard us from whirlpools that threaten to wreck Our bark, Heavenly Pilot, we pray! And teach us the blessing of walking with God Through holy communion each day.
