The evil one is doing his best 
To cause my “focus” to get out of line 
He’s trying to make a problem too big 
The problem is not even really mine
Someone is trying to draw attention 
To an area that causes me some pain 
But, God has freed me from that pollution 
I won’t be dragged in there again 
I know I don’t have the solution within myself 
To cure a problem for anyone, even me 
I have trusted my life into God’s hands 
That’s the place I experience really being free.
My reaction to this time of perplexity 
God has the power to keep me strong 
I won’t have to worry about the evil ones trap 
God’s in control, He won’t lead me wrong 
I give Him all the emotions I feel 
I will react to the ones He declares okay 
I will walk in His strength alone 
He will change the matter if I’m not in His way 
His time, His place, His will, His way 
I have learned not to let my emotions run wild 
I trust my Father, God, to work for my good 
That’s what He promises to an obedient child.
