Look to the Father
I look behind
And see mistakes;
I glance back
And my heart aches.
I look around me
And see despair;
I search for wheat
And find the tares.
I look to the future
As a New Year dawns;
I cry out for hope,
But is it gone?
I look to the Father
And feel His love,
I fall to my knees,
Praising Him above.
Don’t look to the past,
What’s done is done;
Don’t look around,
For the future’s begun.
Look to the Father,
From Him hope flows;
Trust in Christ Jesus,
And remember, He rose.
