FOCUSED <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

Forget about this wicked world,
\nWhich will only deceive and lie,
\nRemain focused solely on Jesus,
\nAnd His great Kingdom in the sky.<\/p>\n

There are so many distractions,
\nTo draw us away from the Lord,
\nBut we should never fall for them,
\nRather be grounded in His Word.<\/p>\n

Keep your eyes on your mission,
\nShare God\u2019s truth far and wide,
\nWhatever He\u2019s called you to do,
\nIn that you must faithfully abide.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t ever worry about the storm,
\nThough it madly rages all about,
\nAnd remember that your Savior,
\nFor you is certainly looking out.<\/p>\n

Though waves of darkness rise,
\nAnd devils scream in your ear,
\nWith holy Angels on your side,
\nYou really have nothing to fear.<\/p>\n

Yes, carry on the Lord\u2019s battle,
\nProclaim His liberty and light,
\nWhatever your hand finds to do,
\nYou must do with all your might.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
