Verse 1

This song is definitely one of the 'filler' tracks on the album. Never played in concert (that I can remember) and hardly ever

mentioned by anyone. What is it's strong point (if any)? The bridge. This song's bridge remains one of our top 5 favorites. Strange, but true.

Verse 2

The focus of this song lyrically is on *our* focus. Based on 1 Corin 10:23, "All things are permissible, but not all things are beneficial." We have such freedom in Christ, but in striving after the Lord our focus needs to remain on the things above,

what is good, what is righteous. We can spend time looking backward to mistakes we've made, things we've done poorly, but are they beneficial in our walk? The Lord desires to build us up in Him, and that means our gaze must remain upon Christ.

I say we can, but we might not be

A better man, a better me
