Where's Your Focus

We will never understand the reason If we only focus on this life Or the purpose of God and the plans that he's got For the good of all mankind If we only see daily mounting troubles And not the Glory that's soon to come That God set aside when his son came to die Offering that free gift to everyone While some gladly take, others seal their own fate Judging themselves apart from God's Love Setting all of the blame on the God who loves them Thinking they know when they clearly don't In speaking those words they just add to the curse An eternity of Hell fire and brimstone Because somehow they think for them to believe They first must give everything up No way could they know the treasures bestowed For those who die to themselves Giving all that they have to what forever lasts Forsaking everything else We never will understand the reason If we only focus on today Instead of what's to come in the heavenly relm While what we have here quickly passes away
