I am setting my mind

Setting your mind

Setting your mind I am setting my mind

I am setting my mind
I am focusing my course
I have a direct line of focus
It is my human choice

You go your way
You make your plans
I’m heading for a different place
A divine dance in their hands

I have a mindset
Magnetic compass call
I’m heading to a place of suffering
This is my everything
This is my all

Get behind me
Get out of my way
I’m doing this for you all
Looking to resurrection day

Before that light
Hits my face
There’s a cross
On which I must lay

I have a mindset
I have a course
Only one can take it
Perfect forgiving voice

Have a divine mindset
Make my heart your only choice
When you feel the cold winds of rejection
Remember, I have gone before

I will walk alongside
Sweet connection will be our song
Listen for the music
Aslan’s paw prints ever long

Barry Pearman

 

Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.” Mark 8:31-33

 

C.S.Lewis The Horse and his boy

And being very tired and having nothing inside him, (Shasta) felt so sorry for himself that the tears rolled down his cheeks.

What put a stop to all of this was a sudden fright.

Shasta discovered that someone or somebody was walking beside him.

It was pitch dark and he could see nothing.

And the Thing (or Person) was going so quietly that he could hardly hear any footfalls.

What he could hear was breathing.

His invisible companion seemed to breathe on a very large scale, and Shasta got the impression that it was a very large creature.

And he had come to notice this breathing so gradually that he had really no idea how long it had been there.

It was a horrible shock. C.S.Lewis The Horse and his boy
