I'M TOO BUSY

Here is a song I wrote awhile back and thought of my Mom as I came up with the chorus and verses.  She would always say, "everyone is just so busy", I think she was referring to everyone going about their lives and not caring or thinking about anyone else .  In her generation people took time out of their busy lives to visit each other or make a phone call, there was genuine concern.  This song actually talks about another kind of busy, here it is:  



I'M TOO BUSY



I'm too busy working my job

making the grade

investing my pay


I'm too busy, on the phone

take it from me,

just leave me alone

I'm too busy, preparing a meal

anytime of the day

it's a big deal

I'm too busy with activities

there's no time

just for me
CHORUS
Any I should be busy about God's work

telling my neighbor about my Saviour

who came to earth, for what it is worth

to save lost sinners like you and me


And I should be busy, telling the good news

How God sent His Son,

the work has been done, it is finished

He took our place, now we can live

on and on in Amazing Grace.
Verse

I'm so busy reading the news

working so hard,

I pick and I choose


I'm so busy writing a book

painting a picture

just take a look


I'm so busy finishing school

shopping for clothes

looking so cool


I'm so busy

when I'm on the road

talking every minute on my cell phone
Chorus

Bridge

Oh I'm so busy waiting in traffic

and I'm so busy about others business

the line is busy again, I can't stand it

They're always engaged on the telephone
Verse

Let's get busy everyday

asking God

for the right words to say

Let's get busy out on the street

sharing the good news

with friends that we meet


Let's get busy lending a hand

to the lost and lonely

in every land


Let's get busy speaking the truth

loving our enemies

this is the proof
Chorus - And we will be busy....

LOVE IS.......

Here is a song I wrote awhile ago. We always talk  about love, but we tend to forget that the reason we are able to love is because God loved us first when He sent His only Son into the world to die for us so that we could become children of God.  It is the greatest love story of all time, as my pastor would say.  The inspiration for this song is from an anonymous poem I read while substitute teaching. I wrote it down on a piece of paper  and forgot about it.  I found it a year or two later in my purse and was inspired to write LOVE IS..., it hasn't been recorded yet but I have performed a couple of times.  Enjoy!:)




LOVE IS.....
verse 1
Love, is a hand

That reaches out, it pulls you in

It's a word of hope

Saying it's OK

Things will get better

With each passing day (I say)



Love is, the kindness in a smile

It's knowing you would go the extra mile

It's picking you up when you're feelin' down

Helping to turn your world around



CHORUS

For God is Love

and no greater love is there than this

That a man lay down his life, for another

We cannot love each other without Gods' love

We love because he first loved us


verse 2
Love, is holding on not letting go

It's the hope that you have at the end of the day

It means patiently waitin

Love can be strong when the world is hating (I say)



Love is, when you speak of someone kindly

Building them up not tearing them down

It is giving to someone

Not getting something for yourself in return

Chorus
verse 3
Love, is a kind word spoken softly

Reaching your hand out to the poor and needy

It is giving your life for another

Treating each other like sister and brother(I say)



Love is, the understanding heart

Willing to mend not pulling apart

It's forgiving and forgetting

There is not enough love in this world

Chorus
