Keeping My Eyes Up

Isn't it so easy to get bogged down in the everyday living of life?

Cleaning up the house, running countless errands, not to mention being "everything" to your kids, husband, and household pets (who are sometimes like little kids). It can all weigh heavy on my heart and mind.

When this happens to me (quite often and too easily, I might add), I find myself looking down at the ground. Literally. I don't make eye contact with people at the store. I don't look up at the blue sky to enjoy a beautiful day. I don't have a grateful heart. I'm merely surviving.

Ever been there?

Then this song is for you. Keep your eyes on the One whose love and mercy for each of us is incomprehendable. My eyes are looking up now. It's a beautiful day, by the way.



Our God is, a consuming fire,
A burning holy Flame, with glory and freedom
Our God is, the only righteous judge,
Ruling over us with kindness and wisdom

We will keep our eyes on You
We will keep our eyes on You

A mighty fortress is our God
A sacred refuge is Your Name
Your Kingdom is unshakable
With You forever we will reign

Our God is, jealous for His own
None could comprehend, His love and His mercy
Our God is exalted on His throne
High above the heavens
Forever He’s worthy...

We will keep our eyes on You
We will keep our eyes on You

We will keep our eyes on You
We will keep our eyes on You
So we can set our hearts on You
Lord we will set our hearts on You!
