My mind prefers to wander
To somewhere else instead
When things become too tricky
I take off in my head
To safer climes and places
Where everything is great

Where is the peace
That you know I'll provide
Why from My presence
Do you want to hide
Have you decided
To go it alone
Into the danger

The love of Christ is wide and long
And high and deep as well
So why, as Christians, don't we want
To share His love and dwell
Together with The One who knows

A torch is only any use
With batteries included
And then we have to turn it on
Or we will be deluded
For if we try in our own strength
To see the way ahead

When a church is asleep
And the slumber is deep
The devil will leave it alone
He is thrilled at the sight
Of a comatose plight

Born to a virgin in stable bare
Among the poorest living there
The King of Kings brought down to earth
No one realised His worth

Take a trip down memory lane
To when things were obscure
You lived your life to suit yourself
And you were far from pure
Everything was A OK

Everybody seems obsessed
With all this global warming
Ice caps melting, oceans rising
Dodgy insects swarming
What with carbon footprints
The holely ozone layer

It's my life I want to lead
It's my way that will succeed
All my needs I safely meet
I can stand on my own feet
My oh my, I hear you say
My reward is on it's way

I watch you sleeping in your walk
When are you going to wake
You cannot be serious
Oh how long will it take
For you to see that I have plans

Your eyes are sore, oh how they ache
From looking for the truth
There must be more to life than this
But still you stand aloof
Following the worlds demands

Do you fit the photofit
That you are meant to be
Are you real or do you feel
That photograph ain't me
Is it time to realise

It's no use being miserable
If things don't go your way
You asked Him for His guiding hand
To keep the dark at bay
Like a child, you're playing up

Thank you Lord for who You are
My redeemer, hope and star
Never gives up on this child
Though untamed and running wild

Whatever job you do in life
Try to do your best
Thanking God for where you work
No matter how you're pressed
For He has put you in that place
