"The cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the Word, and it becometh unfruitful" (Mark 4:19).
Distractions bring a strangle hold
That chokes our fruit from us:
This world's cares, deceitful gold,
And other sinful lusts.
The word's cares with its demands
Will fill your heart with worry.
How vain it is to wring your hands
While in a pointless hurry.
Deceitfulness of riches too
Will turn away your eyes
From things God wants you to pursue,
From pressing toward His prize.
The lusts of other things come in,
That never satisfy.
They'll choke the Word, but nurture sin,
Until the day you die.
Break this strangle hold today!
Be rid of its distraction,
That takes your fruit for God away,
And bids you take no action.
