We Have Forgotten God in This Busy World



In the hustle and bustle of life's swirl,
We've forgotten God in this busy world.
Our days are filled with work and play,
And we've pushed our faith so far away.

We wake up early and rush out the door,
Our minds preoccupied with tasks galore.
We don't take a moment to stop and pray,
Or to thank the Lord for a brand-new day.

Our phones and screens have taken control,
And we've lost touch with our spiritual soul.
We scroll and swipe, our minds in a daze,
And forget about God's amazing grace.

We need to slow down and take a breath,
And remember what's truly important, lest
We lose sight of our purpose and aim,
And forget the One who can take away our pain.

So let's make an effort to pause and reflect,
And give thanks to God, who we often neglect.
For in Him, we find true joy and peace,
And our busy lives find a sense of release.
