control of our thoughts – v2

control of our thoughts

vigilance, focus,

centering our lives

on the things of heaven.

 

control our thoughts

avoiding distractions

things of this earth

of the flesh, of sin.

 

control of our thoughts

our eyes on Jesus

listening to the Spirit

walking on our path.

only so much time, energy,

all of this so precious

pushing out the bad thoughts

filling our minds with the right things

lifting our lives up

lifting our lives up

to a place of worship

increasing our frequency

aligned with the Father.

 

lifting our lives up

our thoughts out of the gutter

focused on what is important

on the best things in life.

 

lifting our lives up

able to help our neighbors

changed to our calling

following the way of Jesus.
