Busy God

O God, You are so busy when we're not,
this world You started up You must sustain,
Your law You guard, each molecule and dot,
and even keep track of my feverish brain.

You stoke the coals in every burning star,
each embryo You lovingly embrace,
our fallen world is great from where You are,
from sin and evil You bring good and grace.

But You're most busy in the spiritual realm,
You strengthen us with courage every hour,
with all Your blessings us You overwhelm,
Your gifts of faith and hope on us You shower.

Such busy love for angels, humans, me,
O Father, Spirit, Son in Trinity.
