I’ve reached the point in my life where my job I have isn’t meeting all my needs. I want to do something more in line with my spiritual beliefs but…my lack of a degree puts me in a place where I can’t earn enough doing other things to keep my family in the manner that we’ve become accustomed to. This song tries to put that into words. So God, here’s…
My Request
I’m weary, tired of
This treadmill that I’m on
I know I’ve got a good job
But my enthusiasm’s gone
I can’t find the answer
To this question, I’ve been asked
‘How do You, God, fit in to all of that?’
This journey is winding on
My faith in You is strong
Help me to find my way
In Your service, I belong
I yearn to spend my time
Working, Lord, for You
Spending ev’ry moment
On the tasks You’d have me do
Been to the mountaintop
On mission trips and such
I have had some moments, Lord
When I knew I’d felt your touch
Electric and exciting
I felt changed, inspired, renewed
I want to dedicate my life to You
This journey’s winding on
My faith in You is strong
Help me to find my way
In Your service, I belong
I yearn to spend my time
Working, Lord, for You
Spending ev’ry moment
On the tasks You’d have me do
Help me to make a plan
A map to guide my way
I’m anxious to get started
Let’s take the first steps yet today
I want to find the answers
To each question that I’ll ask
Light my way, God, in Your glory I will bask
This journey’s winding on
My faith in You is strong
Help me to find my way
In Your service, I belong
I yearn to spend my time
Working, Lord, for You
Spending ev’ry moment
on the tasks You’d have me do
