Confused Priority

Malachi 2:13 

13 Here is another thing you do. You cover the Lord’s altar with tears, 

weeping and groaning because He pays no attention to your offerings 

and doesn’t accept them with pleasure.

 

 

Done

 

Spent enough time thinking about you

In emotions you’ve cost me enough.

I want to forget ... clear off my mind 

And just move on without a thought.

 

Keep what you have ... be happy with it

Who needs you ... oh sinking sand?

I’ll walk alone and I’ll get with it

No more dragging hand in hand.

 

Mind over matter ... useless chatter

Mind over whatever will be.

Children chatter as all are gathered

on the shore of Eternity.

 

Now I am free ... no more grieving

but what is that ... turning within me?

Conscience’s sweeping my heart into weeping

it seems I’ll never be set free.

 

I just overlooked ... all that is me

And what truly makes me live.

Start over again and search in deed

how to move on and to forgive.
