Stinking Thinking

Verse 1: Mind running fast, I’m jumping ahead Turning one thought into ten in my head Make it bigger than it really is Now I’m stressed over something that don’t even exist Start assuming how it’s all gonna go Like I already know what I don’t even know Writing the ending before it begins Fighting a battle that’s only within Pre-Chorus: Hold up… let me check that thought Where did it come from, what did it cost? Is it truth, or is it fear in disguise? ‘Cause everything I think ain’t always right Chorus: If you spot it—you got it, don’t let it slide Bring it out, don’t keep it locked inside Take that thought, don’t let it run the show Question it—don’t just go with the flow If you spot it—you got it, now take control You don’t gotta believe every thought in your soul We go deeper, we don’t just let it sit We deal with it when we spot it Verse 2: Stinking thinking, yeah I’ve been there before Let it build up, now it’s knocking me to the floor Taking it personal, everything said Feeling attacked when it’s all in my head Mind reading like I know what they see But I don’t even know what they think about me Label myself with words that ain’t true Talk to myself worse than I ever would you Feelings loud, yeah they pulling me in But just ‘cause I feel it don’t mean it’s legit Gotta separate truth from emotion Slow it down, don’t react in the moment Chorus (repeat) Verse 3 (this is where we shift to power + renewal): Slow it down—that’s where the power at In the pause, yeah, that’s where you fight back Every thought don’t deserve your belief Some of them lies dressed up like truth in your speech Take it captive, don’t let it roam free Line it up with what God says about me “I’m renewed, I’m restored, I’m not stuck” That old mindset don’t got that hold on us Patterns change when you challenge the lie New pathways form when you let truth reply I ain’t conformed to the ways of the world My mind transformed, yeah I’m seeing it clear Bridge (keep it calm, reflective): Breathe in… don’t rush the moment You got authority over your focus Replace the lie, speak what’s true God’s word reshaping how you move Final Chorus (slightly lifted, but still controlled): If you spot it—you got it, now stand your ground You don’t gotta let that thought stick around Take it to truth, let it be refined Freedom starts when you renew your mind Outro (scripture tone, spoken or sung softly): I’m not conformed… I’m transformed By the renewing of my mind Every thought… brought into alignment With the truth of Christ
