Focus on Jesus


 

When life is offering you too much

And the choices are too many

You may become so confused, overwhelmed 

And discouraged that you can't make any


Too often there are not enough hours in a day

And it would be easy to fall back in to bed

Learn to act on what's of greatest value today

And keep your priorities straight, instead


Focus on Christ's atonement

For joy and clarity and strength

He will consecrate your afflictions

For your growth and eternal gain


Our sins, transgressions and mistakes

He can and will forgive the repentant

Focus on doing whatever it takes

To feel the spirit and keep each covenant


To the seeker, He is always within reach

He knows the frailties and intents of the heart

And empathizes perfectly with each

He can calm our anguish, offer peace and impart


Through His eternal sacrifice

All mankind can be saved

Everyone

Anyone

Even one

Even you

Because of Jesus Christ suffering

Our hearts and hands can become clean
