Keep Your Eyes on Jesus

KEEP YOUR EYES ON, JESUS
WHEN THE TIDAL WAVE OF TROUBLE
AROUND YOU ROLLS
KEEP YOUR EYES ON, JESUS
HE WILL CALM THE STORMS OF LIFE
THAT TOSS YOUR SOUL

LIVING IN A WORLD THAT'S FULL OF SORROW
WE ARE TRIED AND TEMPTED EVERY DAY
KNOWING NOT THE SECRETS OF TOMORROW
WE FIND Rescue IF YOU WIN, WE WATCH AND PRAY

KEEP YOUR EYES ON, JESUS
WHEN THE TIDAL WAVE OF TROUBLE AROUND YOU ROLLS
KEEP YOUR EYES ON, JESUS
HE WILL CALM THE STORMS OF LIFE THAT TOSS YOUR SOUL

(NARRATION)

In Matthew, Chapter 14, when the disciples
Were in the ship in the midst of the sea
Being tossed with waves
For the wind was contrary
In the fourth watch of the night
Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea
And when the disciples saw Him
Walking on the sea
They were troubled, saying, 'it is a spirit';
And they cried out for help

But straightway, Jesus spake unto them
Saying, "Be of good cheer;
It is I; Be not afraid."
And Peter answered him and said
Lord 'If it be Thou
Let me come unto Thee upon the water.'

And He said, "Come."
And when Peter was come down
Out of the ship, he walked on the water
To go to Jesus
But when he saw the wind boisterous
He was afraid;
And beginning to sink
He cried out, 'Lord, save me.'

Peter was doing alright while
He kept his eyes on Jesus
But when he looked away at
The rolling waves about him
He began to sink
And immediately, Jesus stretched
Forth His Hand
And caught him, and said unto him

"O, thou of little faith
Wherefore didst thou doubt?"
Being tossed in this life
By disappointments and temptations
We are very much the same as this disciple
If we want to live for Jesus
We must keep our eyes on Him
And not the pleasures of this world

KEEP YOUR EYES ON, JESUS
WHEN THE TIDAL WAVE OF TROUBLE
AROUND YOU ROLLS
KEEP YOUR EYES ON, JESUS
HE WILL CALM THE STORMS OF LIFE
THAT TOSS YOUR SOUL
