Eyes
Inspiration
Regardless of what the circumstances may be, there is always something
competing for our focus. For us, most of the time, that “thing”
wins our attention. This song is really just a simple prayer that
God would help us, amidst everything going on, to keep our eyes
on Him. The simple prayer was not so simple to put down on paper
though. We spent a lot of time writing and re-writing the lyrics
in an attempt to honestly convey the situations that cause us to
get off track…
Lyrics
When I am up on the mountain high,
I know that I start wandering round,
Taken back by the place I’m at,
I run ahead, then find that You are nowhere to be found
And then it all comes crashing down
And I see the only reason
That I ever stood on this ground is that
You are faithful, You are faithful!
(and then) When I am down in the valley low,
I cannot help but be afraid,
Cause when I start sinking, all I’m thinking,
Is I’ve got to get my head above these waves,
But it’s never by my power,
and it’s never by my strength
(that I’d ever get out of this place) cause
You are faithful, You are faithful!
Help me to keep my eyes on You,
Help me to set my focus straight,
Help me to stay beside You,
And help me with patience while I wait …
(When) Everything in this simple life
Gets turned around and out of line
And all I seek is for things that please me then
Confusion is the only thing I find
And the trouble in my mind,
(It) lets me know that I can’t go ahead
without You in my life, I see that…
You are faithful, You are faithful (to…)
Help me to keep my eyes on You,
Help me to set my focus straight,
Help me to stay beside You,
And help me with patience while I wait… |
