Squeeze God In

Sometimes it's hard, O God, to squeeze You in,
I'm buzy with a million things to do,
and fallen me, I take time out to sin,
and I must have some leisure hours too.

My physical providing takes much time,
to exercise, to eat, to shop, to sleep,
my schedule leaves few spots for the sublime,
and I must earn my and my family's keep.

My mind is filled with worries, problems, cares,
my health is failing as I run the race,
I can't expect much from sporadic prayers,
amidst the storm, I feel few gusts of grace.

For wasted time, Lord, let me be forgiven,
so You can hopefully squeeze me into heaven.
