Life Frame

Ecclesiastes 5: 1-3

Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. To draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil. Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few. For a dream comes with much business, and a fool's voice with many words

Lord,
I’m sorry
I was unprepared.
I walked in, 
I smiled briefly at the person on the door,
took a seat and continued talking to myself.
Its amazing what we think but never reveal
Its hard to put life in frame
Sealed up and glazed over

Lord I want too much
Help me guard my steps and keep silence

My thoughts, 
My motives, 
My reasons - were all wrong.
I kept talking, 
thinking,
praying,
looking for answers.
I want to change my life frame

Lord I think too much
Help me guard my thoughts and keep silence

I sang the hymns,
but I didn’t really participate.
I felt awkward, 
Out of place,
Out of tune,
Out of sorts.
Completely out of the picture
Too much going on in my head yet not a word spoken.

Lord I sulk too much
Help me guard my moods and keep silence

I should have taken time to listen
To draw near 
To tune in.
To be silent.
I didn’t wait for heaven to touch me
I prayed prayers in a fools voice

Lord I speak too much
Help me guard my tongue and keep silence

Lord,
Help me chose the frame for my life
Help me put the my life in order
Help me put things in perspective 
Help me see things as they can be
Help me believe my life can change
