Intentions ...


Hebrews 4:12

12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword,

piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow,

and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

 

Intensions

 

Oh! How good can they be and quickly acted on

Bring satisfaction to the ones who are demanding

You could be free but it all depends on

The care you feel for others as they’re somehow stranded

 

Does one really care how you feel about others?

Does it really help to make the world a little better?

Is it not a snare as only very few seem to bother?

About your feelings as to most it does not matter

 

Give it up my son in trying to please everybody

Leave it up to the Lord to make them satisfied

Just smile and go on and try to be somebody

Who does what he can afford and in such qualifies
