Only One Thing

Done
to overdone
in the pressure-cooker
of life,
how can I
focus -
find direction,
energy
to live?

"One thing
I ask of the Lord,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell
in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty
of the Lord,
and to seek him
in his temple".

One thing, Lord,
only one thing?

"Only one thing
is needed!"

Yes, Lord,
there’s so much
to do
I can only do it
in you!
