A Soul Content

In the busy pace of life
it’s easy to forget
that quiet time alone with God
will leave my soul content.

Content to face the tasks at hand
and not feel overwhelmed,
For God is ordering each day
and holds time in His hand.

Content to dwell in peacefulness
and not give anger place,
For God is watching o’er my tongue
and fills my speech with grace.

Content to take the trials that come
and not complain or murmur,
For God is working through it all
and refines me like pure silver.

Content to act in love to all
and not seek self alone,
For God is changing my old ways
and makes His thoughts my own.

Content to be whom God created
and never to complain,
For God is singing over me
and loves the works He made.

Content to abide in any state
and not wish for another,
For God is acting in His time
and gives great joy and pleasure.

So let me never dare forsake
or fail each day to spend,
the quiet time with God alone
that leaves my soul content.
