Help Us Turn Back To You

 

So many focus on the world,
Its distractions amuse,
But I will keep my eyes on You.
You are the life I choose.
 
The world whispers of its delights,
It casts disdain at You
And those who seek to heed Your word,
Honor and live it, too.
 
I pray each day that things will change
But that’s not up to me.
For this world answers to You, Lord,
And that’s how it should be.
 
I know that I have lost my way,
More than a time or two,
But, when You called me, I have turned
And hurried back to You.
 
You formed this world out of nothing,
It answers You alone.
Though I still pray we’ll turn around,
Some hearts seem made of stone.
 
Oh, Lord, I pray Your Light will shine
Upon those distracted
By all this broken world offers.
Help us seek You instead.
 
For only You know how this ends
For every wayward soul.
Let each one turn back to You, Lord,
To make what’s broken whole.  
 
Job 28:23-24
“God understands the way to it, and he knows its place. For he looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.
