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.
