FIX MY EYES

Snippet

If you cannot bear with your imperfect brother, take it for certain that you are very imperfect yourself... [and] being so imperfect we ought not to condemn. Remember also that if we are not patient and forbearing there is clear proof that we are more imperfect than we thought we were. Those who grow in grace grow in forbearance. He is but a mere babe in grace who is evermore saying, “I cannot put up with such conduct from my brother.”  C.H. SpurgeonThe Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, volume 16, sermon number 941, “The tender pity of the Lord.”

Scripture

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.  Matthew 7:1-5

Stand face to face with the younger me

All of the mistakes

All of the heartbreak

Here's what I'd do differently

I'd love like I'm not scared

Give when it's not fair

Live life for another

Take time for a brother

Fight for the weak ones

Speak out for freedom

Find faith in the battle

Stand tall but above it all

Fix my eyes on you

I learned the lines and talked the talk (everybody 

knows that, everybody knows that)

But the road less traveled is hard to walk (everybody 

knows that, everybody knows)

It takes a soldier

Who knows his orders

To walk the walk I'm supposed to walk

And love like I'm not scared

Give when it's not fair

Live life for another

Take time for a brother

Fight for the weak ones

Speak out for freedom

Find faith in the battle

Stand tall but above it all

Fix my eyes on you

The things of Earth are dimming

In the light of Your glory and grace

I'll set my sights upon Heaven

I'm fixing my eyes on you

I'm fixing my eyes on you

I'm fixing my eyes

Love like I'm not scared

Give when it's not fair

Live life for another

Take time for a brother

Fight for the weak ones

Speak out for freedom

Find faith in the battle

Stand tall but above it all

Fix my eyes on you

I fix my eyes on you

I fix my eyes on you

Sentence Prayer

Father, Holy and perfect have mercy on one who is 

unholy and imperfect.

Christ, have mercy on all of us, sinners in need 

of a savior.

Holy Spirit, give me a glimmer of the dawn in 

my darkness

As I hold up a mirror to my own sin, my I 

forgive others

As Christ has forgiven me.

Amen R.M.
