Focus
The angels have a saying, “If your work's not born of love
“Then how can it be valued in that perfect Home above?
And if it can't be valued by the Saviour of mankind
Then should we even let it have a place within our mind?”
For angels know each moment that we have is precious here
As time for Christ's appearing is approaching very near
And time of man's probation need be spent upon those things
That will enhance God's Kingdom where the saints of Christ will sing
About the glorious victory they found in serving Him
Who focused every waking thought upon His work for them
And not on worldly honor or His mighty throne above
But how to build His Kingdom with more precious souls in love
With Him and with His Father for the Sacrifice they made
When Christ joined with humanity to pay the Price they paid
That separation equal to some thing we'll never know
As love met with perfection on the cross where Christ did go
To bear that crushing burden that would take away His life
Where sin confronted Purity but could not win the strife
That tore the heart of Jesus as He bore the grief of hell
With anguish that no mortal tongue on earth could ever tell
And then from death to victory as Christ in love arose
The Promise of eternal life to share with all of those
Who like Him would be set apart to save the souls of them
Who see His image through their works and words that point to Him
And choose not earth's distractions knowing moments here are few
And for those who are searching there is yet so much to do
To point them to the Saviour that most Precious Lamb of God
And help them in their struggle in the path of life they trod
To see there's more to living for a moment's pleasure here
There's something far more precious than those treasures they hold dear
And something more rewarding than to hear the praise of men
Who still succumb to mortal death until there is no sin
When Christ will come in glory to reward those who have died
In faith and full conversion to the One we crucified
But Who by grace has made us guiltless in the eyes of God
As long as we are focused on the path of faith we trod
Psalm 101:1-8; 23:1-6; 1:1-6
