KEEPING ME ON YOUR MIND

SOMETIMES WE SIT AT OUR TABLES
ALLOWING OUR BURDENS TO CONSUME OUR TIME
BUT WHEN JESUS HUNG ON THAT CROSS AT CALVARY
NOTHING BUT LOVING US WAS ON HIS MIND

WHEN WE ARE SELFISH,IMPAITENT,AND PRIDEFUL
AND THE ONLY FOCUS WE CAN FIND IS ON OURSELVES
THINK OF THE NAILS THAT WERE BEING DRIVEN INTO THE HANDS OF JESUS
FOR ON HIS MIND WAS OUR SALVATION AND NOTHING ELSE

WHEN YOUR LONELY SAD & FEELING FORGOTTEN
WHEN DEPRESSION & UNFAIRNESS TAKE A HOLD OF YOU
REMEMBER WHO DRUG THAT HEAVY CROSS UP THE HILL
AND THAT CHRIST BEARED IT ALL TO SEE US THROUGH

I KNOW THIS LIFE SEEMS HARD TO LIVE AT TIMES
AND THAT WEAKNESS ROBS US OF HOLY DEED & THOUGHT
BUT OUR STRENGTH IS IN OUR LORD AND MASTER
FOR ALL ARE DEBTS HE CLAIMED AND BOUGHT

LET US ALL LIFT OUR EYES TO HEAVEN
EVERYTIME THIS LIFE TRIES TO GET US DOWN
REMEMBERING THE KING OF KINGS OUR SAVIOR
AND THAT IN HIM WE WILL ALWAYS BE SAFE & SOUND

FOR JESUS DOES NOT WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING
HE KNOWS NOTHING ON THIS EARTH CAN REPLACE HIS LOVE
AND THAT PRECIOUS LOVE HE OFFERS
WILL BE OUR PATHWAY TO THE HEAVENS ABOVE

SO TODAY I TELL YOU FIND JOY AND PEACE IN HIM
LET LOVING JESUS CHRIST BE ALWAYS ON YOUR MIND
AND WHEN THE TIMES AGAIN GET HARD AND ROUGH
YOU WILL STILL BE JOYFUL AND HAPPY BECAUSE HE WILL BE WITH YOU ALL THE TIME

NEVER LOSE SIGHT THAT JESUS LOVES YOU
AND ALL DAY LONG HE KEEPS YOU CLOSE TO HIM
FOR YOU AND I ARE ALWAYS ON THE MIND OF JESUS
AND IN HIM WE SHALL NEVER LOSE BUT ONLY WIN

OH THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR COVERING BLOOD
AND BECAUSE OF IT THE COURAGE AND STRENGTH I CAN FIND
THANK YOU FOR DYING JESUS TO SAVE ME
YES THANK YOU JESUS FOR ALWAYS KEPING ME ON YOUR MIND
