Rushing Around

Rushing Around was a temperamental child

Always on the edge of an explosion

When he and his friends got together awhile

The air was always filled with emotion

Days would come and go with lightning speed

Months would disappear in a blur

Always too busy to stop and see

If his efforts ever had any worth

One day Rushing ran into his brother

Amidst all his rushing around

He discovered his parents had passed away

But he was nowhere to be found

So, Rushing did what he always did

And rushed to where his parents used to live

He found his old home was abandoned

No sign of the life he had lived

He was struck with a thought that made him stand still

A rare thing indeed for the boy

His parents had urged him, take life by the reigns

Get all that you can and enjoy

When the holidays came they invited him home

But he was too busy to come

He was too busy, being busy alone

His folks said goodbye and were gone

Rushing sat down and he thought for awhile

What was his life all about

With all of his getting and rushing around

He had left the best part of life out

He determined right then, that a change would be made

Things just couldn’t remain the same

He would call up his brother and the ones that he loved

He even thought of changing his name

So, Rushing rushed home and got down on his knees

He knew he needed help with his plan

And his life started over that very afternoon

As he took the Savior’s nail pierced hand

Now, Rushing Around is Rushing NoMore

The boy has become a new man

His brother and his friends are amazed at the change

Since he took the Savior’s nail pierced hand

Rushing realized what we must realize

We can be driven or led

Driven by the illusion that we know the end

Surprised when we end up dead

Or led by our Maker who flaunts His wares

Declaring that He has a plan

Urging us yield from the depths of our hearts

And be led…by the nail pierced hand
