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 righteousness
O how I need You Lord
To see Your majesty
To be Your family





O Lord, I praise Your Name
O Lord, I praise Your Name

Overall Meaning

In the song "You Are So Faithful/Great Is Thy Faithfulness" by Bob Fitts, the lyrics describe the faithfulness of God in various aspects of life. The song begins by comparing God's faithfulness to the rising of the sun and the sending of rain, emphasizing how God's faithfulness is a constant and reliable force in our lives. The lyrics also describe the beauty and renewal of spring, likening it to God's faithfulness and the life that he gives to all living things. The chorus of the song then shifts to recognizing the sacrifice that God made on the cross and the redemption that he offers through his blood.


The bridge of the song continues to capture the enduring faithfulness of God even in the midst of difficult times. The lyrics talk about persevering through storms and waves, and even when the end of time comes, God will still be faithful. In this way, the song shows that God's faithfulness is an unchanging and eternal force in our lives.


One interesting fact about the song is that it is actually a medley of two different hymns: "You Are So Faithful" and "Great Is Thy Faithfulness." The former was composed by Fitts himself, while the latter was written by Thomas Chisholm in 1923. The combination of these two hymns creates a powerful message about the unchanging nature of God's faithfulness.
