Jesus turn my eyes from worthless things,
for you are the one that makes my heart sing
These things that draw and entice my eyes
claiming they will bring me life
are only deceptions, only lies,
illusions of good that cut like a knife.
They try to convince me they will make me content
and bring satisfaction that is sure
instead leave me empty; wanting more.
Obscuring my vision and veiling my eyes
to the One who is holy, to the One who is pure.
I wasn’t created for the glitz and glam
of things that are temporal and passing away
but for you who is the Truth the Life and the Way.
Created for your pleasure, created for bliss
to find all that I long for in your heavenly kiss.
Fashioned by you for your embrace alone,
everything else leaves my heart like a stone.
You are my life, you are my peace,
in you alone I find all that I need.
Because you’re the one who went to the cross
I consider all things rubbish and count all things loss
compared to the greatness of knowing you
I have found there is no one
or nothing else that will do.
The greatest satisfaction in life that I find
is to love you with all my
heart, soul, strength and mind.
