Lyrics
Thinking of the words to praise you
In these times of hope-less-ness
Remind me oh God of all the times you have
Come thru In my brokenness
All my hope is in my God
I will soar like an eagle in the sky
All my strength is in my God
I will wait on Him I will wait on Him
So help me God
Not to lose my hope in you.
These times are meant not to
Lose my hope In you
So help me God
Not to lose my sight of you
These times are meant
To build my trust in you.
All my hope is in my God
I will soar like an eagle in the sky
All my strength is in my God
I will wait on Him I will wait on Him
These times are tough
These times are rough
God in you I will set my eyes
So I wont give up
Let my heart grow strong
Cause I know who is on my side
So help me God
Not to lose my sight of you.
These times are meant to
SET MY EYES ON YOU

Meaning & Inspiration
Set My Eyes on You presents faith as a deliberate response to hardship. The lyrics admit brokenness, fear, and the temptation to lose hope, yet they repeatedly return to God as the source of strength. Waiting is not portrayed as passive resignation; it becomes an act of trust while circumstances remain difficult. The image of soaring like an eagle closely echoes the biblical promise that those who wait for the Lord will receive renewed strength.
The closing lines sharpen the central idea by turning attention away from trouble and toward God. Rather than claiming that pain has already disappeared, the song asks for a steady heart and clearer spiritual sight. Its prayerful language also recognizes that endurance depends on divine help. The result is a worship song about perseverance, confidence in Gods presence, and hope that grows stronger through testing.
