When I choose to set affection
On the things that are above,
I am led, by God's direction,
To the thoughts He's thinking of.
| When I cast my cares before Him,
He speaks comfort to my heart.
I just love Him and adore Him,
As I sing, "How Great Thou Art."
| When I'm stressed or sad, or worried,
He's my Calm within the storm.
He brings peace. He's never hurried.
What He shares is kind and warm.
| | When I doubt, complain, or wander
Things just seem to fly apart.
As I look and think, and ponder,
God reminds me where to start.
| I start by stopping what I'm doing
And I feast upon The Word.
No matter what the world is brewing,
I must practice what I've heard.
| When God, Jehovah, takes my hand
And stirs me in my soul,
It's then I come to understand
What's meant by prophet Joel.
| The prophet said the Spirit brings
Great gladness, hope, and joy.
For, God, The Lord, has done great things
That nothing can destroy.
