Array ( [sid] => 150451 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Clutching on the Earth [time] => 2009-06-04 07:52:33 [hometext] => Wrote this one last year...not my best, but I still like it because of the message it portrays. What do you think? [bodytext] => Our spirit gets so tangled
in the worries of this world,
and inside our ‘comfort zone’
has our heart so tightly curled.

We forget to praise our Father
for the miracles He’s done,
for the blessings that He’s given,
for the battles that He’s won.

We are caught in wealth and status,
trapped inside financial cares.
We don’t give the East a passing glance
because our earthly wares.

The earth seems more attractive,
and God seems so far away,
we fade, and fade, and slowly slip
with every passing day.

But won’t God bring renewal?
Saying, ‘Lean on me again?’
‘Won’t I take more care of you
then I take care of the wren?’

And then money doesn’t have us,
and our status is no bother,
for we’re simply then reminded
of our perfect, Heavenly Father.

Clutching on the Earth

Our spirit gets so tangled

and inside our ‘comfort zone’
has our heart so tightly curled.

We are caught in wealth and status,

We don’t give the East a passing glance

And then money doesn’t have us,
