I am learning to “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5). The struggles and sins that I encounter every day are, first of all, a battle of the mind that I must fight with the Sword of the Spirit (God’s Word). In feeling discouraged by Satan’s lies about my identity, I began to meditate on the truth of who I am in Christ – “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent, if anything is worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things” (Philippians 4:8). The result of my meditation was the writing of a new worship song titled “Let My Mind Dwell.”
vs. 1
I am strong for all things in the One who is Strength
I have peace, deeper still, in my Yahweh Shalom
And I rejoice! For the LORD is at hand
It is here I will let my mind dwell
Chorus
Glory to God Most High, holy in wisdom and might
My heart can trust in Your Name
Jesus, my Life and my King!
vs. 2
I am pure in the One who has taken my sin
I have joy in the God who delights in my life
And I rejoice! For the LORD is at hand
It is here I will let my mind dwell
vs. 3
I’m content in the Lord who has sovereign control
I’m secure in my firm and unchangeable Rock
And I rejoice! For the LORD is at hand
It is here I will let my mind dwell
