Keeping Your Focus

Lori Peters

Keeping Your Focus

Keep your focus on the larger goal, which is to glorify God. The rest will take care of itself.
BehindTheClouds by Brad Paisley

When you’re feeling lonely, lost and let down
Seems like those dark skies are following you around
And life’s just one big shade of gray
You wonder if you’ll see the light of day

{chorus}

Behind the clouds, the sun is shining
Believe me even though you can’t quite make it out
You may not see the silver lining
But there’s a big blue sky waiting just behind the clouds
I’ve heard it said that this too shall pass
Good times or bad times, neither one lasts
But thinking that your luck won’t ever change
Is like thinking it won’t ever stop once it starts to rain

{chorus}

Behind the clouds, the sun is shining
Believe me even though you can’t quite make it out
You may not see the silver lining
But there’s a big blue sky waiting just behind the clouds
Yeah, there’s a big blue sky waiting just behind the clouds
