1. 1. 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

   (CHORUS)

   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.

2. 2. 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.

   (CHORUS)

   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.

   (BRIDGE)

   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.

   (CHORUS)

   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.
