(KEEP YOUR)

EYES ON THE PRIZE

 (Heb. 12:2;  1 Cor. 9:24)

CHORUS:   

Keep your eyes on the prize;  just look to the skies;

Keep in mind your everlasting reward.

Keep your eyes on the prize;  you’ll then realize

Your Prize is Jesus the Lord!

VERSES:   (Psalm 40:1-5)

1. I waited for the Lord to hear my cry: 

“O Lord, will You rescue me?

I’ve turned from you;  I’ve gone my own way.

Please save me from this misery!” [CHORUS]

2. The Lord rescued me from the mire of the pit.

He reached out and took me by the hand.

Though I was sinking low, He pulled me out,

And set my feet on dry land. [CHORUS]

3. Now my feet are firmly on the Rock. 

He placed me there for everyone to see.

And so I sing a new song to Him:

“Jesus, I’ll always trust in Thee!” [CHORUS]

SALVATION

1. There in the Garden of Eden it started,   (Gen. 3)

Adam & Eve turned their backs on the Lord.

Sin entered history;  from God they departed.

But God didn’t let Adam lose his reward.

2. Out in the desert the children of Israel    (Num.21:4-9)

Sinned against Moses and suffered the loss.

Salvation was promised to all those afflicted:

Just look to the Saviour Who hung on the Cross.

CHORUS:

Salvation belongs to our God:  

God Who sits upon the throne.     (Rev. 7:10)

To the Lamb Who was slain be all glory and praise,

Thanksgiving and power to Him alone! (Rev. 5:12-13)

3. Sorrow poured out in the tears from the harlot 

Who wept at the Master’s feet, not letting go. 

                                                   (Lk. 7:36-50)

He said, “Though your sins once were coloured as scarlet,

I wash you, and make them as white as the snow.” 

                                                   (Is. 1:18) [CHORUS]

4. Save me, Lord Jesus, You truly have risen!

Your Spirit in me lifts me up when I fall.

Like Moses, and Peter, and Mary I follow.

I trust in Your mercy;  and give you my all. [CHORUS]
