Fix My Eyes
Fixing Gaze: Drawing Strength from Endurance and Faith
Lyrics
When my heart is weary, when my soul is weak
Expressing weariness and weakness of the heart and soul.
When it seems I can't traverse the trail before me
Feeling incapable of navigating the challenges ahead.
I survey the glory of your agony
Reflecting on the divine suffering and finding inspiration in it.
And I find the will to fight for what's before me
Gaining determination to fight for what lies ahead.
Cause you ran the race enduring for your glory
Drawing strength from the example of enduring challenges for glory.
I fix my eyes on you, the founder and the finisher of our faith
Focusing attention on the divine figure as the originator and completer of faith.
I fix my eyes on you, the solace in your suffering is my strength
Finding comfort and strength in the divine figure's suffering.
As I fight to follow, you're my righteous guide
Perceiving the divine figure as a guiding force in righteous living.
And you train me to delight in all that's holy
Being taught to find joy in what is sacred and holy.
Heal my broken body, cure my crooked stride
Seeking healing for physical and moral brokenness.
Throw off every weight and sin that clings so closely
Desiring liberation from burdensome weights and sins.
I will run the race enduring for your glory
Committing to endure challenges for divine glory.
I fix my eyes on you, the founder and the finisher of our faith
Reiterating the focus on the divine figure as the source and finisher of faith.
I fix my eyes on you, the solace in your suffering is my strength
Emphasizing reliance on the divine figure's suffering for personal strength.
You help me breathe, you're the only life I need
Acknowledging the divine figure as the essential source of life and breath.
You died for me, you're the only life I need
Recognizing the divine figure's sacrifice as the sole necessity for life.
I fix my eyes on you, the founder and the finisher of our faith
Continuing to fixate on the divine figure as the foundation and culmination of faith.
I fix my eyes on you, the solace in your suffering is my strength
Reiterating that solace in the divine figure's suffering provides strength.
