Fix My Mind

Fix my mind on Thee, O Lord;
Fix my thoughts upon Thy Word.

   Father all glorious, Father all true,
   Father, Thou bring me life anew.

Fix my mind on Thee, O Lord;
Fix my thoughts upon Thy Word.

   Jesus Christ, Thou art grace and light.
   Jesus Christ, lead me through the night.

Fix my mind on Thee, O Lord;
Fix my thoughts upon Thy Word.

   Holy Spirit, en-kindle my spirit.
   Holy Spirit, convict me today.

Fix my mind on Thee, O Lord;
Fix my thoughts upon Thy Word.

   Help me to glory in my weakness;
   Help me to carry my cross today.

I will fix my mind on Thee, O Lord;
I will fix my thoughts upon Thy Word.

I wrote this prayer/song as I was dealing with accepting my weaknesses, and recalling the Apostle Paul's words that if he were to boast, he would rather boast in his weaknesses.  It is when we are weak, then we are strong because only when we acknowledge our weakness will we rely on Christ to be our strength.
