The earth still spins
As the rain falls
On this new day
Looking only at me
Leads to apprehension
For today’s troubles
A clouded perspective
Heavy and gray
Veiled like the sun
It is difficult to
See the potential
For good…for love
But looking upward first
And then outward
Taking my eyes off of me
Allows powerful light
To brighten this
Gloomiest of days
Assurance of hope
Shining even in
The temporary gray
Oh it’s so hard to see
When my eyes are on me
-Keith Green “Make My Life a Prayer to You”
