Eyes On Jesus (An Ode)

When you’re waking up in the morning, eyes on Jesus. When you’re getting dressed, eyes on Jesus.

When you’re eating breakfast, eyes on Jesus. When you’re heading out the door, eyes on Jesus.

When you’re driving in traffic, eyes on Jesus. When you’re at the office (or school), eyes on Jesus.

When everything you’re touching turns to gold, eyes on Jesus. (Selah) When you’re receiving the applause and praise of men and they think you’re really something for the great things you can do and your wonderful abilities (and you’re really nothing), eyes on Jesus.

When you’re distressed, discouraged, downcast, depressed, eyes on Jesus. When you’re misunderstood, rejected, mocked, humiliated, eyes on Jesus. (Pause to reflect)

When you’re lonely with no one to talk to, eyes on Jesus. When you just can’t go on another day, eyes on Jesus. (He is with you!)

When you’re breathing your final breath, eyes on Jesus. And when you’re waking up in the next life, where are your eyes? On Jesus. \o/ (1 John 3:2)
