It's Such A Busy World!

IT'S SUCH A BUSY WORLD!
by HELEN STEINER RICE



OUR DAYS ARE SO CROWDED
AND OUR HOURS ARE SO FEW
AND THERE'S NO LITTLE TIME
AND SO MUCH TO DO
THAT THE DAYS FLY BY
AND ARE OVER AND DONE
BEFORE WE HAVE EVEN
HALF BEGUN
TO DO THE THINGS
THAT WE MEANT TO DO
BUT NEVER HAVE TIME
TO CARRY THROUGH-
AND HOW NICE IT WOULD BE
IF WE STOPPED TO SAY
THE THINGS WE FEEL
IN OUR HEARTS EACH DAY!









YOUR GOODNESS AND UNFAILING KINDNESS
SHALL BE WITH ME ALL OF MY LIFE, AND
AFTERWARDS I WILL LIVE WITH YOU FOREVER
IN YOUR HOME.




PSALM 23:6
TLB



BUT THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE ON THOSE
WHO FEAR HIM, ON THOSE WHOSE HOPE IS IN
HIS UNFAILING LOVE.




PSALM 33:18
NIV



YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS AN
EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS,
AND YOUR LAW IS THE TRUTH.




PSALM 119:142
NRSV



O LORD, KEEP ME ALIVE FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR NAME.
BECAUSE YOU ARE RIGHTEOUS, LEAD ME OUT OF TROUBLE.




PSALM 143:11
GOD'S WORD



GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH,
A VERY PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE.

THEREFORE WILL NOT WE FEAR, THOUGH THE
EARTH BE MOVED, AND THOUGH THE MOUNTAINS
BE CARRIED INTO THE MIDST OF THE SEA.




PSALM 46:1-2
KJV



LORD, I AM IN GREAT TROUBLE, SO I CALL OUT
TO YOU.
LORD, HEAR MY VOICE; LISTEN TO MY
PRAYER FOR HELP.




PSALM 130:1-2
NCV



FOR I AM CONSTANTLY AWARE OF YOUR
UNFAILING LOVE, AND I HAVE LIVED
ACCORDING TO YOUR TRUTH.
