Lifting our Looking

"In the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up" (Psalm 5:3). "The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. Many seek the ruler's favor, but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD" (Proverbs 29:25,26).

It does no good to look around
To find God's perfect peace,
For only in our Lord is found
The Source of its release.

It does no good to look within
Our heart to conquer strife,
For there the Lord exposes sin
So troubling in our life.

It does no good to seek the favor
Of rulers over men,
But when we trust our Lord and Savior,
His peace shall find us then.

Lord, as we lift our eyes each day,
We daily find it true
That as we're looking up to pray
We find our peace in You.
