Focus
So many fail to comprehend the meaning of God's Word
When reading in the Bible where His Spirit can be heard
They fail to see the beauty that is ever present there
Because their minds are cluttered when they pause with Him in prayer
And rush to meet their burdens with a sympathetic ear
When God had much to tell them they were just to dull to hear
That would and could provide them with the wisdom that they need
If they would stop and listen and His Holy Spirit heed
But time that we're all given is to them too dear to spend
On Him Who is our Source of life on Whom we must depend
And when they should spend focused time with Him upon their knees
They're focused more on vanity and vane activities
That last but for a moment in the great grand scheme of things
Just like a passing vapor or a wisp upon the wings
When paired against eternity and all that God has planned
For those who truly seek Him and attend to His command
To seek Him with a whole heart with a mind that's pure and clear
That listens while observing in His Word the voice they hear
That speaks to them in silence while the world is still at rest
Preparing with God's Spirit for each moment life will test
The strength of their connection with the One true Source of all
The worlds and all the living who abide the Father's call
Whose pleasure is to serve Him without question when they hear
His voice of love and passion that is always standing near
So friend be not too hurried when you take your time with Him
Who loves you without measure proved that night in Bethlehem
And everyday He suffered while He walked this earth alone
The One Who knew His future and the Price that must atone
For you and me together with all of humanity
That He from the beginning loved with His infinity
And focused on completely til He was completely done
Providing for our future when in Him we could be one
In heart and mind and strength and faith one body born in Christ
Who through the Father's Spirit lived to pay the greatest Price
So we could choose the life He has provided for us there
With Him Who is our Life our all each day in focused prayer
