Scripture: (Philippians 4:8 NKJV)  Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

Progression:  Chorus x 2, Verse 1, Verse 2, Chorus x 2, Verse 3, Bridge, Chorus x2, End

Chorus:  C  Am  Dm  F  G7
Lord, help me focus on the positive
And not be so negative.
Help me cling to what is good
And flee from the things I should!

Verse 1: Am  C  F  G7 
The things around me are temporary.
Even my bones will return to dust.
There is stress, worry, and pain.
With too much loss. Too little gain.

Verse 2:
Life's a flash. It goes so fast,
But today starts a future so vast.
Today’s the first of the rest of my days,
And the sunset on my old ways.

Verse 3:
We strive to gather, what wind blows away.
Running to and fro, one step from the grave.
Eternal things can’t be seen with your eyes,
And things that last don’t have a price.

Bridge:  Am C F  G
When my time's done, and You call me near.
Heaven awaits. I'll have no fear.
With Jesus Christ, I'll forever be,
Saved by His grace for all eternity.   

Ending:  C  Am  F  G  C . .
