At times, it’s easy for me to get lost paying attention to what other people are doing wrong. . At those times, I need to be reminded that I’m responsible for and can truly change one and only one person in this world when it really comes down to it.
May you feel and recognize God’s movements in and around your life today and always!
John
Why do I let what’s going on around me
Irritate me and annoy me so
Distract me from the things I know I should be doing
A focus on the negative won’t help me, Lord, to grow
I’ve got to use my time and energy
Just concentrate on improving me
Can’t worry ’bout what all those other people do
Gotta use the gifts that God gave me
Work on becoming all that I can be
Put my hope and faith and trust
Lord, all in you
I cannot change the way that other people
Choose to treat all of their fellow man
Need to change the way I react to what they do
I am the only person, I truly understand.
I’ve got to use my time and energy
Just concentrate on improving me
Can’t worry ’bout what other people do
Gotta use the gifts that God gave me
Work on becoming all I can be
Put my hope and faith and trust
Lord, all in you
