it harms the soul of man
and when your mind is subverted
its hard to take a stand

to alter God’s pure will
by breaking your focus on Him

but God has made a way to win
this battle that you wage
for worry to cease it will go
and evil flees in rage

whenever you lift up your hands
and praise your God on high
glorifying Jesus in song
and eyes begin to cry

a focused mind can dwell
upon perfect love at its best
God’s presence you can tell
____
that life still holds the greatest thrill
when Jesus owns the day
and faith sustained is hope enriched
where God can have His way
