"A New Angle"

Lord give me a new angle,
one as seen from up above.
I'm tired of always looking sideways,
I want to feel your endless love.

The world today wants me to believe,
that looking sideways is what I need.
Be better than others, look better, run faster,
talk louder than others, as long as I'm not worse off than others,
I will succeed.

My neck is hurting from always looking around,
and a splitting headache is all I've found.
Looking at others hasn't gotten me far,
I've only been left with an emotional scar.

The vain reasoning of man,
is worthless in God's eyes.
We crumble and fall,
from the pressure of it all.
We have to realize before it's too late,
that the message is nothing but lies.

A new angle is what we need,
not looking sideways trying to gain speed.
An angle from God's view
looking at others in a whole way new.

Forgiveness and love, compassion and caring,
encouragement, kindness, giving, and sharing.
Through the sideways view of man,
this may seem simply impossible.
But from a new angle with God,
we find it all to be POSSIBLE!

Lord give me a new angle,
one as seen from up above.
I'm tired of always looking sideways,
I want to feel your endless love.
