So now to sheer simplicity

So now to sheer simplicity
While I too oft am lost in stupidity
By mindless exercises
That waste the worth of me

My eye be one
On that which is unchanging
Thereby I be won
In that which is sure

My motives be pure
And pleasing to thee
And not aimlessly
Seeking

My purpose renew
Stay it true
Upon you

No other means I pursue
For one way to go
And steady on
By faith

For there thy grace
Enough shall lead
Endurance in me
May heed

Thy calling
Clear through
My Noise

And silence me
To cease
That in my storm
Find peace

So scatter all
Which would betray
And shower me
With blessings I pray

That this day
Enough shall do
That this day
You alone
Pursue

-Joshua Lee Foist
