Focused

He looked down and found me tarnished and worn.
   He reached down and gathered me in.
He polished and cleaned, brought forth a new me,
   and He even forgave my sin.
He gave me a heart that yearns just for Him,
   and a peace that sits so serene.
I know by His grace i'll hold to a faith
   in those things that cannot be seen.

I'll keep my eyes on the face of my Lord,
   I'll cling to His nail scarred hand.
I'll place my burdens and cares at His feet. 
   On that solid Rock I will stand.
I will not faulter, nor will I fail,
   I'll draw on His strength every day.
I'll always be a witness for Him,
   a disciple along life's way.

I know He will never foresake me,
   evermore with me He'll be
I know He will love me forever
   from now through eternity.
Helping me through the bad times
   watchfully caring for me.
Guiding and guarding and keeping,
   right through eternity.
