Why do we run in the rat race, when all along the Lord has been calling to us to follow Him (I’m talking to myself again! Haha)

Ive written hundreds of songs over the past 40 years. I love Jesus, the word of God, people and music. I play guitar, bass and sing. Thank you for listening!
My music is about the new life found in Jesus Christ. He is our access to the Father and is worthy of all praise and glory. He has taken our sins away by the selfless sacrifice of His death upon the cross. He is deserving of songs and worship. The sound of my music is influenced by the delta blues and artists that have followed through the 60s and 70s who have taken this music and written folk, Americana, and Rock n Roll. Thank you for listening to my songs, and also the collaboration projects, thank you to all who contributed to these songs..

Lyrics
We Run This Way We run this way we run that way To fill our soul with that which lacks Up to the brim we own the stuff Or the stuff own us get it off my back We scrape all day the grind is never done To live that life full under the sun To build that nest so we can rest It’s just the work day is never done Lord You tell me to be anxious for nothing So right now I will lean on You Guide me this day through these troubled waters I call on you for I know you are true The Lord is worthy and I will praise Him I will lift up my voice in worship There is no other that is my rock Yes it is He that will lead me on this trip Lord You tell me to be anxious for nothing So right now I will lean on You Guide me this day through these troubled waters I call on you for I know you are true Words and music written by: John Matteson Leadsheet: Intro: E A E (x2) Verses 1: A B E (x4) Verse 2: (like intro) E A E (x4) Chorus: B D A /G E (x3) B D Verse 3: (like intro) E A E Chorus: ( over verse 1 chords) A B E (x4) Lead: (first half) B D A /G E (x3) B D Lead: (second half) E A E (x4) Chorus: (repeat) B D A /G E (x3) B D Photo by Lachlan Ross: https://www.pexels.com/photo/bright-lightnings-with-rainy-clouds-over-ocean-6510344/
