Hurry by Melodie Yvonne
My life is marked with hurry and it’s causin’ me much trouble
My idle hands are the devil’s toys, and busy keeps me humble
But if I don’t give time to God I still will end up losin’
This fine line I gotta walk can be so fickle and confusin’
It’s only by the grace of God I’m not a raging pride-atic
See three’s the magic number it’s as easy as arithmetic
My Father, Son, and Holy Ghost they keep me humble when I’m sick
They dress me in a crown of thorns that shields like devil’s walking stick
My life is marked with hurry and it’s causin’ me much trouble
My idle hands are the devil’s toys, and busy keeps me humble
But if I don’t give time to God I still will end up losin’
This fine line I gotta walk can be so fickle and confusin’
Now how will I keep all this up, but rid myself of hurry
When I was young the path was clear but now it’s gotten blurry
I need to get back to my roots and trust the Lord above
But it’s hard for me to just let go and let in all his love
My life is marked with hurry and it’s causin’ me much trouble
My idle hands are the devil’s toys, and busy keeps me humble
But if I don’t give time to God I still will end up losin’
This fine line I gotta walk can be so fickle and confusin’
