Keep me in “the here and now”
Keep my focus stayed on You
Guide my steps and guard my tongue
Take over my mind…renew
The constant replay
Of yesterday’s passed
Ever envisioning
What the future may hold
Keep me in “the here and now”
I submit to the Potter’s mold
To the pressure needed
To bend or break
Old habits,
Old patterns of thought
Keep me steadfast in Your Word
To learn all that The Teacher taught
Keep me grounded
Anchored to
The foot
Of The Old Rugged Cross
Grant me the peace
That passes understanding
The realization of what
Your bloodshed bought
No more restless nights
Where sleep won’t come
Because of nagging thoughts
I can’t shut down
Close my eyes Lord
Give me rest
Loose my mind
Unwound
The tangled ropes of knotted thoughts
Satan uses to try to take away my crown
Of righteousness
Through Your name’s sake
No longer lost
In You…I’ve found
That living in “the here and now”
Protects me on the battleground
