I really want to do what’s right
But there’s a war inside my mind
Doubting if I measure up
Wond’ring if I do enough
I lie awake and pray to you
Because you told me that’s what I should do
When anxious thoughts surround me
Jehovah, Father, you tell me

To safeguard my heart and safeguard my mind
Stay focused on good things in life
I won’t give in to what gets me down
I’ll safeguard my mind, and peace will be found

I really long to do your will
But I get tired from how I feel
Thinking life is just too tough
And I don’t deserve your love
But I get up and out the door
And share my hope for the future in store
I won’t let sadness drown me
Jehovah, Father, you ground me

I’ll safeguard my heart and safeguard my mind
Stay focused on good things in life
I won’t give in to what gets me down
I’ll safeguard my mind, and peace will be found
Peace will be found

I won’t give up pushing away
Harmful thoughts that come through the day—
No need to stress and no need to doubt
Jehovah, I'm glad you gave me a way out
You gave me a way out

I’ll safeguard my heart and safeguard my mind
Stay focused on good things in life
I won’t give in to what gets me down
I’ll safeguard my mind, and peace will be found
