Bob Fitts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My eyes are fixed on You, O Lord, Your loving face I see;
I set my heart hard after You, and I'll follow faithfully.
Each weight I lay aside, by grace I will abide,
Your rod and staff, they comfort me, and open up my eyes.
You've opened up my eyes.

To see Your holiness, to be Your righteosness;
Oh how I need You, lord.
To see Your majesty, to be Your family,
O lord; I praise Your name. (Repeat from beginning)

To see Your holiness, to be Your righteosness;
Oh how I need You, lord.
To see Your majesty, to be Your family,
O lord; I praise Your name.

My Life Is In You, Lord
Daniel Gardener c. 1986 by Integrity's Hosanna! Music

My life is in You, Lord, my strength is in You, Lord,
My hope is in You, Lord, in You, its in You.
My life is in You, Lord, my strength is in You, Lord,
My hope is in You, Lord in You, its in You.

I will praise You with all of my life,
I will praise You with all of my strength;
With all of my life, with all of my strength,
All of my hope is in You. (Repeat from beginning)

My life is in You, Lord, my strength is in You, Lord,
My hope is in You, Lord, in You, its in You.

My life is in You, Lord, my strength is in You, Lord,
My hope is in You, Lord in You, its in You.
