FOCUS

My focus is heavenward

His will is my destiny 

His word is my light 

His strength upholds me 

His joy fills me

His plan excites me

His love changes me

His grace amazes me

His mercy sustains me

His voice calls me

His touch thrills me

My focus is heavenward

His will is my destiny

His truth frees me

His Holy Spirit indwells me

His sacrifice saved me

His pain healed me

His Father adopted me

His people reached out to me

His life quickened me

His cross gave me victory

My focus is heavenward 

His will is my destiny

And by His grace

I will fulfill what is already in His book about me

And by His strength 

I will prevail over darkness and the enemy

And by His love 

I will bring light and truth and freedom to His creation

I do recognize my great need for Him 

For without Him I am nothing

But in Him and through Him 

I am His child - A Priest and a King- 

A Mighty Warrior - An Agent of God - 

An Ambassador of Love

So great a love 

To change me

To change my family

To change my city

To change my world

I am humbled to be called His

Overjoyed to belong to The King of the Universe

The Creator of Heaven and Earth

 I am thankful beyond words 

That someday I will bow before His throne 

To see Him face to face 

And my greatest desire is to hear Him say, 

                                  “Well done good and faithful servant...Well done.”
