"Fix My Eyes" Lyrics:

Hit rewind

Click delete

Stand face to face with the younger me

All of the mistakes

All of the heartbreak

Here's what I'd do differently

I'd love like I'm not scared

Give when it's not fair

Live life for another

Take time for a brother

Fight for the weak ones

Speak out for freedom

Find faith in the battle

Stand tall but above it all

Fix my eyes on you

I learned the lines and talked the talk (everybody knows that, everybody knows that)

But the road less traveled is hard to walk (everybody knows that, everybody knows)

It takes a soldier

Who knows his orders

To walk the walk I'm supposed to walk

And love like I'm not scared

Give when it's not fair

Live life for another

Take time for a brother

Fight for the weak ones

Speak out for freedom

Find faith in the battle

Stand tall but above it all

Fix my eyes on you

The things of Earth are dimming

In the light of Your glory and grace

I'll set my sights upon Heaven

I'm fixing my eyes on you

I'm fixing my eyes on you

I'm fixing my eyes

Love like I'm not scared

Give when it's not fair

Live life for another

Take time for a brother

Fight for the weak ones

Speak out for freedom

Find faith in the battle

Stand tall but above it all

Fix my eyes on you

I fix my eyes on you

I fix my eyes on you

Reflection:

What if it was possible? What if we could hit rewind; click delete and start again? As this joy-filled song states so powerfully, "I'd love like I'm not scared, Give when it's not fair, Live life for another, Take time for a brother, Fight for the weak ones, Speak out for freedom, Find faith in the battle, Stand tall but above it all, Fix my eyes on you." The Good News of Christ is that we can start again. We might not be able to delete what we have done, but, if we choose to fix our eyes on Jesus, we can start again, renewed in His love and determined, this time, to not make the same mistakes!


Isaiah 40: 31: "They that hope in the LORD will renew their strength, they will soar on eagles’ wings; They will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint."

1 John 1:9: "If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrongdoing."
