Because there is a Savior,
Who holds our soul in His hands,
Dwell on the many pleasures
To give heed to His demands.

Forgetting those things which art behind us,
Let us look on those before.
Press toward the mark of the prize,
Of the high calling from He whom we adore.

Dwell on the peace of God
Which passeth all understanding.
Set your heart on the joys
Of Gods' love, sweetly undemanding.

Finally, dwell on those things which are just,
Things which are honest, too,
And all things which are pure and lovely
And on the things which are true.

As our Savior would have us dwell,
These things we truly ought to do.
For, He is the prize of the highest calling;
Gave His own life for me and you.

So, if there be anything of good report,
Dwell on these, this lovely day,
As our Savior watches closely,
Guiding us along this hard old way.

Isn't that just like Him to put
Our needs out on front every day?
That's because He loves us so very much.
That's why He paved the way.

And, all the things we have seen or thought,
That are lovely and right, do.
For, Jesus is just waiting for our hearts
To be filled to the overflowing, too.

He waits for us to accept Him,
Meet Him on that beautiful shore;
Where Heavens' gates gladly awaits
To hold us, with Him, forevermore.
