I'm Just Passing Through

Let me not waste
Precious moments
Lord
On useless baubles
I will rue -
It's You
I should be seeking -
As I'm just passing through.

Let me dwell
Not in the future
Or in the past pursue -
Just live
The present moment -
As I'm just passing through.

Let me treat
All others kindly
Leaving gossip
For the few,
See You in all creation -
As I'm just passing through.

Let me live
Each day in wonder
Be awed by what you do -
See the depth
Of your production -
As I'm just passing through.

Let me not become attached,
Lord
And view
This home as new
It's just a temporary tent -
And I'm just passing through.
