Run By Standing Still

I want to work for Jesus,
Bring glory to his name.
I beat my body half to death,
To serve the blind and lame.
But...
I love by being loved.
I run faster standing still.

Why do I come up empty?
I'm following His call.
he said He'd make a way for me,
When I gave Him my all.
But...
I love by being loved.
I run faster standing still.

He says I'm out of focus
By running all around.
But how can working be so wrong?
I want to free the bound.
But...
I love by being loved.
I run faster standing still.

It's great I want to serve Him.
It's easy not to see,
He longs to hold me in His arms
And spend the day with me.
See...
I love by being loved.
I run faster standing still.

I serve a loving Father.
One day I'll understand
How He can reach a dying world
Through such nonsense commands.
Like...
Just love by being loved
And run faster standing still.
