Trust me, I've been there, I've looked, I've searched and I know now, that there are no answers to be found in the bottom of a bottle or on the edge of a blade! Fighting Hard, Recovering, Rebuilding, REBORN. Moving on from addiction to a new life.
To see through the day The busy and mundane I face it all As though I work for my Lord Some I meet are stubborn Some just plain rude Yes I talk to all the same As though friends of our Lord For this is my calling To stand out from them all To see this as my duty To work as though for the Lord
Am I worn by the people Who cannot see who I am Do they see I am different Or are we counted all the same Maybe I am just the servant There to serve their need And those I count as colleagues Leave me struggling when I am in need But I know I am different So I will work with all I have got For You call me to serve them all Just as though I serve You my Lord Maybe I am not content with my surroundings Still I will be deliberate with my purpose To show them that I am different So through me they will see You
Who do I serve? Who is my master? How do I work? As each day passes My hands day by day What do they create? Do they build for this world Or just massage my soul? In everything I do Do I do it for Him? Or my own glory To ease a wounded soul? He gave me my life In His word from that day So now it’s my time To put right my works In each day I face I’ll work for my Lord To light up His glory In the face of this world
So my three days off work are drawing to and end, the alarm is back on and work tomorrow, this is the word of inspiration I needed.
