Lyrics
Chorus
I lift up my head
I sing out a song
I’ll fix my eyes on Jesus
Till the things of this earth
All pass away
I fix my eyes on Jesus
Verse 1:
O soul, if you are weary
If there’s no light
in the darkness you see
There is light, look at the savior
You’ll find a life
more abundant and free
Chorus:
I lift up my head
I sing out a song
I’ll fix my eyes
on Jesus
Till the things of this earth
All pass away
I fix my eyes
on Jesus
All pass away
I fix my eyes on Jesus
Verse 2:
Take heart,
His goodness and mercy
Overshadow
my deepest despair
Through death to life everlasting,
Jesus leads on
and we follow Him there
Chorus:
I lift up my head
I sing out a song
I’ll fix my eyes on Jesus
Till the things of this earth
All pass away
I fix my eyes on Jesus
Bridge:
I will shine in light
behold His glory
come face to face
with the Lord of hosts
I will join the song
Of thousands, ten-thousands
Holy, Holy Lord
2nd:
Holy, Holy
Holy, Holy
Holy, Holy Lord
Chorus:
I lift up my head
I sing out a song
I’ll fix my eyes on Jesus
Till the things of this earth
All pass away
I fix my eyes on Jesus
All pass away
Inspired by the hymn "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" first published the hymn in England as a pamphlet in 1918, and then included it in a 1922 collection called Glad Songs.
