Days ran together like ink on a page Is this the occupation for a man his age Loosened up his tie to let the heat escape All the while his ears scream for a break But his workday is done his busy day is set aside One thing left to do he says i won't let a day go by Lift my hands lift my voice give it all away Nothing here is mine i'm a steward to my pay I will go the extra mile to show my love for Thee Storehouse full Your floodgates pour as You delight in me A boy twenty years and a dad who's ill Went to church with a sore heart and a cup to fill His job and his family he could handle it himself Couldn't tell the difference from worldly and heavenly wealth Now forty years have passed just now the light came back to view Wished he'd never let it go he says i want to spend my life with You With a craftsman's hands He made three lives stand still Gave them all desire to do His will And now they live in honor of their King Thankful and convicted by the gifts He brings Let me not take for granted everything You've made under the sun Keep my flesh and blood a working couple of Thine own

Meaning of "Storehouse Full" by The Pool Boys (Group)
The lyrics paint a picture of a man caught in the grind of daily life, where days blur into an indistinguishable mess. He feels the weight of his years and the relentless pressure of his occupation, his body screaming for respite. Yet, despite this exhaustion, a profound sense of duty or devotion compels him to complete one final act before setting his busy day aside, a commitment to not letting a day pass without this essential task. This devotion is then explicitly framed as a spiritual offering. The narrator declares himself a mere "steward to my pay," emphasizing that his efforts are not for personal gain but as a gift to a higher power, "Thee." The imagery of a "storehouse full" and "floodgates pour" suggests an abundance received from this divine source, a reciprocal relationship where his giving is met with overwhelming generosity and divine pleasure. This act of giving, of going the "extra mile," is presented as the core of his spiritual practice. The narrative then shifts to a specific, forty-year span in the life of a man facing familial hardship – an "ill" dad and the burdens of both job and family. He struggled to discern between material and spiritual riches, indicating a period of confusion or misplaced priorities. It wasn't until decades later that clarity arrived, a "light came back to view," leading to a deep regret for lost time and a fervent desire to dedicate his remaining life to this divine connection. The final verses broaden the scope, speaking of a divine "craftsman" who imbues lives with purpose and desire to serve. This divine will leads to a life of honor and thankfulness for the "gifts He brings." The narrator concludes with a plea against taking these blessings for granted, asking to remain a devoted servant, keeping his "flesh and blood" dedicated to this higher calling.
