Running to and Fro

From the book Poems From the Heart, by Marlene Wilkinson.

People running to and fro,
So busy with their cares and woes.

I have so much to speak to you today;
Won't you be still, listen and pray?

I see you with your worries and tears;
Come, sit beside Me, and I'll calm your fears.

I am your mighty God and everlasting Friend,
And into your heart My peace I will send.

Instead of running here and there, to and fro,
Open the Bible that tells you I love you so.

Lean on My strong arm and find perfect rest,
For in Me your life will be full and blessed.

Weary and worn, fall at My feet;
I'll pick you up to sit at My seat.

I'll meet your need in My time;
Just talk and sit with Me and dine.
