Feelings Will Follow

Feelings are fickle and bound to change

The heart is deceitful and this fact remains

It may be a hard saying and harder to swallow

If you focus on facts then feelings will follow

Feelings are sheep who go easily astray

They need a shepherd to guard over their way

Left to our ways in self pity we'd wallow

If you focus on facts then feelings will follow

If we set our minds on things above

On enduring truth and amazing love

When we can feel God's glories shine,

Then will the facts and our feelings align

O what amazing joys we feel

When rightly reckoning what is real

Then the feelings we're meant for will fill up the hollow

If you focus on facts then feelings will follow.

So test everything and hold to what's real

Then shall we know, and taste, and feel

The joys that cannot be expressed.

Examine your feelings - find if they pass the test

There's a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to act and and a time to reflect
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
Take some time for a reality check

We have this choice in what we confess

Depressed or distressed or infinitely blessed

Feelings are fickle and that you well know

If you focus on facts then feelings will follow

If you focus on facts then feelings will follow

If you focus on facts then feelings will follow
