Keep My Eyes On You


 










The world is filled with wondrous things,
Pleasing delights galore.
Wherever we may turn our gaze,
We find there’s always more.
 
It’s easy to be distracted
By such a vast array
Off fascinating things to see
And do through every day.
 
You gave to us Your creation,
But evil then stepped in
And tainted many wonders with
The bitter stain of sin.
 
Thus, those things meant to bring us joy
Will often block our sight
Of You, who we were born to love,
Our one perfect delight.
 
Lord, help us to appreciate
This world that we walk through,
But help us even more to keep
Our eyes and hearts on You.
 
Psalm 119:37
Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.
