Jesus, I Lift My Eyes
Words: Anne Steele (1778), altered by Jars of Clay. Music: Jars of Clay, 2005. ©2005 Bridge Building (BMI) / Pogostick Music (BMI).

When sins and fears prevailing rise
And fainting hope almost expires
Jesus to Thee I lift my eyes
To Thee I breathe my soul’s desires

Are You not mine, my living Lord
And can my hope, my comfort die
Fixed on the everlasting Word
That Word which built the earth and sky

CHORUS:
Jesus, I lift my eyes
To Thee I breathe my soul’s desires
Jesus, I lift my eyes
To Thee I lift my eyes

If my immortal Savior lives,
Then my immortal life is sure;
His Word a firm foundation gives,
Here may I build and rest secure.

Here let my faith unshaken dwell,
Immovable His promise stands,
Not all the powers of earth or hell,
Can e’re dissolve the sacred bands,
(Chorus)

BRIDGE:
Here oh my soul
Thy trust repose:
If Jesus is forever mine
Not death itself, that last of foes,
Can break a union so divine
