I often lose focus, my mind wanders, and I get off track. There are so many dangers in my life that drag me into idle, purposeless behavior. Fix My Eyes by for KING & COUNTRY from Run Wild. Live Free. Love Strong. (2014) has reminded me this week how to focus my mind by looking up.

Hit rewind, click delete,
Stand face to face with the younger me,
All of the mistakes, all of her 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, on You.

Fixing my eyes on Christ is hard to learn, even now I need reminders, but I’m so glad God has shown me grace enough to learn it, because other things have flowed from there. Things like, standing, believing, speaking, fighting, serving, living, giving and courage.

I learned the lines and talked the talk,
But the road less traveled is hard to walk,
It takes a soldier, who knows his orders,
To walk the walk I’m supposed to walk…

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, on you,
I’m fixing my eyes on you, on you,
I’m fixing my eyes…

“Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.” – Colossians 3:2 It was about a year ago that I memorised chapter three of Colossians, that verse has been a great help in setting my focus and fixing my eyes.
