Out of Focus

When you focus on things beyond your control Is like dishing up heap of frustration in a large bowl Pacing back and forth biting your nails Depression takes the wind right out of your sails Stress becomes your new best friend Swimming with anxiety in the deep end Your mind and body are weak and frail You feel you are living in the depths of hell Trying to save the world when nobody cares Leaves you shaking your head fully aware You are the one who is spinning your wheels While they wonder Hmmm what’s the big deal? So listen to my words and take heed Ask God to help you to plant the seed For them to feel the truth of conviction To turn around and flee from their addictions And don’t forget to set your focus where it belongs For only Jesus has the power to right the wrong. You will find when you give them to the Lord It releases the pressure and peace is your reward.
