Attention
Whispered by an angel like a fresh new falling snow
May come that sweet assurance God is wanting you to know
Or deep within your being He might make your eye to see
The beauty of His leading through your past dark history
Or maybe through His scriptures He might make your finger trace
The perfect awesome grandeur of His overwhelming grace
Or maybe if so chosen through His nature you might learn
His illustrated lessons of His love for which you yearn
Whatever be the modus operandi He might choose
If faithful to His calling you can know you'll never lose
God's presence in the morning through the day and while you rest
That's promised to His people everyday through every test
Until in clouds of glory Christ returns for those He loves
Those who have watched and waited to be taken up above
Who when sore tried and tempted to release their grasp on Him
Still prayed pursued and listened for His voice of love to them
Not knowing of the future what each day of life might bring
But trusting Him Who made them and provided everything
When on the cross He suffered as the guilty bled and died
The Lamb of God's own choosing Jesus Christ the crucified
That He would not forget them never leave them here alone
But would forever lift them by His grace to be His own
His children born of water and the blood that Jesus shed
One people as one body just the way the scriptures said
But Satan will confuse us if not faithful to God's Word
If we place things around us so His voice cannot be heard
And will be sure to lead us far away from Jesus' feet
To where we'll fail and falter at the voice of his deceit
If we don't stop to listen watch and study everyday
So friend don't be a wasting precious time you have to pray
But make Christ your priority the first thing that you do
And you will find the promise of the end He'll bring you too
The end that's the beginning of eternity with Him
Where angels walk and all the saints will wear a diadem
That's given to the faithful who chose everyday to be
Attentive to God's presence that begins eternity
1 Chronicles 16:8-16; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Psalm 24
