Passing
Faster, faster, the voice compelled, many
miles lay before
Faster, faster, play no more, just keep
the miles flowing
Countless lines, blur of signs, nothing
marks the passing miles
Rest ahead, the promise said, just keep
the miles flowing
Faster, faster, the voice propelled, many
miles lay before
Faster, faster, the voice implored, just
keep the miles flowing
Tarry not, and cast no lot, with slower
travelers on the road
There's peace ahead, your hopes all fed,
just keep the miles flowing
Faster, faster, the voice's will held,
still more miles lay before
Faster, faster, now far from shore, just
keep the miles flowing
Years go by, no one but I, the goal no
longer certain
But faster still, I drive my will, just to
keep the miles flowing
Faster, faster, the voice now still, my
journey near to over
A passing life, spent with strife, just to
keep the miles flowing

Jonah ran away from the will
of God, but before we're too critical of his
actions maybe we should answer a few
questions. How often do we really seek the
will of God in our lives? How serious are we
about carrying out His will? Our lives are
so busy from sun up to sun down that very
little time is left over to just listen, be
still, and turn our face to God. We're all
running, but to where?
