We wrap our lives with things to do
We fill them up with dross.
We pile on the remedies
Then stop to count the loss.
With God our lives are vessels new
to fill at His desire.
We need not worry, fret or fear
He’ll lead us through the fire.
Just bring your troubles to the Source
your sins are His to bear.
Give thanks to Christ who made all things
Your life is in His care.
He takes our guilt, and gives us light
The Spirit as our Guide.
To live in truth, and in His might
To be His church, His bride.
