If I live a good life
If do things just right
Maybe I’ll find that I was fine all along
But no matter how I try
I’m losing the fight
And here I find that I was living all wrong
God, kill this pride living inside
‘Cause it’s just too easy
To be fixed on me
Lord, keep my eyes on You
Where the only true salvation comes from
In this life, see me through
And in Your arms of love carry me home
So by Your grace
Lord, every day
Help me keep my eyes on You
If I could have this thing
Then I would be happy
Maybe it’ll be what I was missing all along
But any joy it brings
Is only temporary
And here I see that I was thinking all wrong
God, kill this greed that lives in me
Oh, it’s just so easy
To look to other things
Lord, keep my eyes on You
Where the only true salvation comes from
In this life, see me through
And in Your arms of love carry me home
So by Your grace
Lord, every day
Help me keep my eyes on You
I have been saved
By Your grace
Through the faith
That You gave
I find my life
In no one else but Jesus Christ
Lord, keep my eyes on You
Where the only true salvation comes from
In this life, see me through
And in Your arms of love carry me home
So by Your grace
Lord, every day
Help me keep my eyes on You
