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....
