Lyrics

Would you lose your load of sin?
Fix your eyes up­on Je­sus;
Would you know God’s peace with­in?
Fix your eyes up­on Je­sus;

Refrain

Jesus who on the cross did die,
Jesus who lives and reigns on high,
He alone can jus­ti­fy;
Fix your eyes up­on Je­sus.

Would you calm­ly walk the wave?
Fix your eyes up­on Je­sus;
Would you know His pow’r to save?
Fix your eyes up­on Je­sus;

Refrain

Would you have your cares grow light?
Fix your eyes up­on Je­sus;
Would you songs have in the night?
Fix your eyes up­on Je­sus;

Refrain

Grieving, would you com­fort know?
Fix your eyes up­on Je­sus;
Humble be when bless­ings flow?
Fix your eyes up­on Je­sus;

Refrain

Would you strength in weak­ness have?
Fix your eyes up­on Je­sus;
See a light be­yond the grave?
Fix your eyes up­on Je­sus;
