Words and music by Bob Hartman
|
Based on Philippians 4:8
|
|
In solitary time the thoughts run through my mind
|
Some from the very throne some origins unknown
|
I know there's a danger waiting
|
Thoughts held in captivity
|
The vain imaginations that long to be set free
|
I hold the key
|
With thoughts of purity
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Whatever things are pure and true,
|
(I want to)
|
Think on these things
|
Whatever things are filled with virtue
|
Think on these things
|
When my mind begins to stray
|
I want to think the other way
|
Think on these things
|
Think on these things
|
|
Into the conscious flow the tributaries go
|
The source from which they start
|
Abundance of the heart
|
My mind has a mind of its own
|
choosing negativity
|
Only the thoughts of virtue
|
Withhold the raging sea
|
I turn the tide
|
By choosing to abide
|
|
Whatever things are honest
|
Whatever things are just
|
Whatever things are lovely
|
I will put my trust
|
In the things that never cease
|
To keep my heart in perfect peace
|
