Or our fine homes, fancy clothing or our fast shiny cars.
He does care that we find in living, and relaxing, a balance.
We work and we play, and we have so much to do and say,
Why did it take me so long to learn about God’s balance?
In our caring and sharing, witnessing and worship too,
In our caring and sharing, witnessing and worship too,
Why does my scale tip to one side with God’s balance?
Christ came to this earth to give us a more abundant life,
Christ came to this earth to give us a more abundant life,
It is the abundance of “things” that throws me off balance.
If I could but clear the deck of busily caring for things,
If I could but clear the deck of busily caring for things,
I’d reach the serenity of my mind that brings a balance.
Things are supposed to make are lives easier and happier
Things are supposed to make are lives easier and happier
In accumulating I have lost what God does with balance.
All our lives we are taught to reach out and to achieve,
All our lives we are taught to reach out and to achieve,
But somehow along the way we forget about balance.
I freely admit I get caught up in the ebb and flow of life
I freely admit I get caught up in the ebb and flow of life
Thinking little of what God’s word has said about balance.
It does not have to be mediocrity, it needs to be priority,

It does not have to be mediocrity, it needs to be priority,
A proverbial “To Do” list maker is her own worst enemy,
Because she refuses to give in and accept God’s balance.
Human nature can be an awesome and terrifying thing
Human nature can be an awesome and terrifying thing
It can take control; we do not listen to the voice of balance.
I am to blame for putting other things first before Christ,
I am to blame for putting other things first before Christ,
Forgive me Lord, I do not adhere to your word about balance.
Each day I have to start anew and prioritize my daily work,
Each day I have to start anew and prioritize my daily work,
Or I will I fall into the trap of not living with God’s balance.
