Keep Our Eyes On Jesus

Let’s keep our eyes on Jesus.

This world is not for us.

We became His children,

When in Him, we placed our trust.



Let’s keep our eyes on Jesus.

He’s soon coming for His bride.

We must all be ready,

When He calls us to His side.



We’ll kneel before our Master.

We’ll give Him all the praise.

For He’s the One who saved us,

When He died and then was raised.



Let’s keep our eyes on Jesus,

For our treasures are above.

There is a crown He promised,

To those who give Him love.



He’ll open The Book to judge us,

For the works we did while here.

Did we do them for His glory,

With a heart that was sincere?



If our works withstand the fire,

We have gems to adorn our crown.

But if our works burn like chaff,

Then no gems will there be found.



So while we’re here still waiting,

Let’s reach out to those still lost.

Tell all how Jesus redeemed us,

When He died to pay our cost.



We want to please our Master,

By helping those in need.

By following His example,

We know we will succeed.



Share food with all who hunger,

Provide shelter to those who’re cold.

Lift up the young and helpless.

Reach out to the lonely and old.



As we are eagerly awaiting,

For our Bridegroom to appear,

Let’s do all He has commanded,

For the time is drawing near.



The crown which we are promised,

We, in turn, will give to Him.

On the day we lay it at His feet,

May it be adorned with gems.
