Keep me focused Lord,
when going through the fire
keep my eyes straight on You
so I’ll know Your heart’s desire.
Keep me focused Lord,
when I’m full of dread and fear
keep me looking heavenward
so You can draw me near.
Keep me focused Lord,
when the storm is raging on
keep my mind centered upward
so to Your will I can be drawn.
Keep me focused Lord,
when everything’s falling apart
keep my faith horizontally intact
so You’ll always be in my heart.
Keep me focused Lord,
no matter what I’m going through
help me not to focus on my worries
but, on the day I’ll be with you!
~~~~~~~~~
“Let thine eyes look right on
and let thine eyelids look
straight before thee.”

Your poetry must be collected and put into a book. Is a book old fashioned? It’s as good as Helen Steiner Rice!!! You can start your own line of cards and stationary any time!!!
