Mind Renewed

Bud Young

My mind on me

Depression my companion

Looking, searching

My escape from mental traction

Hearing about God

His message is love

All along, I've been seeking

For something from above

Spending time with You

Reading Your word

Having my mind renewed

Moving closer to my Lord

Changing my thinking

Changes my seeing

Perceptions of You

Are all I am seeking

My emotions in check

In Your presence I am still

On Your word I reflect

My spirit You fill

Grateful for You

And the principles You teach us

Oh, the price You paid

In order to reach us

Being a disciple

No longer a chore

Finding myself daily

Wanting to know more

Depressed no longer

My world not skewed

For Your will I hunger

With my mind renewed
