There was nothing this can’t do
He is busy from morning till late at night
Substituting for you
You’re asked to do this or do that
And what is your ready reply
Get Somebody Else to do that job
He’ll do it much better than I
SO much to do in this

If, however, we believe that we are the product of a Creator who made us and set us free, we will conclude as William Ernest Henley in his poem, "Invictus":
Out of the night that covers me,

“My Best”
There is an urge within my breast,
To give the Lord my very best,
In thought, in action, word and deed,
This has become my whole life’s creed.

Before my work on earth is through.
It may be out in

“Is This the Right Road Home?
Is this the right road home, O Lord?

The stony path is hard to tread,
Each step brings some fresh ill.

And joyous songs from free hearts flow.
