Focus on Jesus

 

When you wake and things look bleak

And the landlord knocks on your door like a freak

And the neighbours laugh and mock

You look in your closet and only see an old frock

Look up to the skies and focus on Jesus.

When you get your pay cheque

And you try all you can to work out a budget

And the bills are three months behind

You feel so stressed and all you want to do is unwind

Get down on your knees and focus on Jesus.

When your boss is nothing but terror

And all you make every day is only error

And everybody is just staring you in the face

They shake their heads and say you are a big disgrace

Stick your chest out, hold your head high and focus on Jesus.
