“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.” —Hebrews 12:2 (KJV)
When we lift our eyes to Jesus,
Author of our faith and rest,
Joy within our spirits surges,
Filling hearts with hope’s sweet zest.
Strength is kindled in our frailty,
Through His might, we rise and stand,
Courage flows to face the tempest,
Held secure by His strong hand.
Wisdom lights our path with clarity,
Guiding choices, pure and true,
In His counsel, we find purpose,
Every step He leads us through.
Grace, unmerited, embraces,
Cleansing wounds and setting free,
Peace, transcendent, calms our chaos,
Anchored in eternity.
Love, unending, wraps around us,
Drawing us to seek His face,
Faith grows bolder, trust unbroken,
As we run this holy race.
Oh, the challenge lies before us,
Fix your gaze, though trials press,
Look to Jesus, ever steadfast,
Source of life and righteousness.
Passionately Pursuing Christ
