One Thought Away

One Thought Away
Lyrics and music by Elizabeth Ragsdale

What if you think you don’t love enough?
Some folks seem hard to forgive.
But could it be hard to love God, who is good,
The one in whom you live?
When a willing heart can no longer wait,
Love is one thought away.

What if you think you don’t know enough?
Some things seem hard to learn.
But could infinite Mind, who knows your need,
Make anything hard to discern?
When a doubtful heart sees it’s made a mistake,
Truth is one thought away.

What if you think you don’t trust enough?
Sometimes it’s hard to lean.
But could angel thoughts, which God sends your way,
Not keep you safe and serene?
When a fearful heart bows low to pray,
Peace is one thought away.

Many things you see
Are not what they seem to be.
A change of thought can bring
Quite another thing.

What if you think you just aren’t enough?
Some hurts seem hard to forget.
But could God, in whose image you are made,
Let his child hold fast to regret?
When the heart is done with yesterday,
Healing is one thought away.

When a willing heart can no longer wait,
When a doubtful heart sees it’s made a mistake,
When a fearful heart bows low to pray,
When the heart is done with yesterday,
Love and Truth and peace and healing
Are one thought away.
