Why

Why, O Lord, is it so hard for me
To keep my heart directed toward you?

Why does my mind wander off
In so many directions?
And why does my heart desire
The things that lead me astray?

Let me sense your presence
In the midst of my turmoil.
Take my tired body,
My confused mind,

(My restless soul into your arms)

Give me rest.
Simple
Quiet
Rest.

My wife gave me a CD for valentines day: Lounge Worship 2. It's so laid back its practically falling off the chair. These lyrics are attributed to Henri Nouwen. How cool is that?
