Keep Your Eyes On Jesus

Keep your eyes on Jesus
When the tidal wave of trouble around you roll
Keep your eyes on Jesus
He will calm the storms of life that toss your soul

Living in a world that's full of sorrow
We are tried tempted everyday
Knowing not the secrets of tomorrow
We find rescue when we watch and pray.

In Matthew Chapter 14
When the disciples were in a ship
In the midst of the sea being tossed
with waves when the wind was contrary
In the fourth watch of the night
Jesus went unto them walking on the sea
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea
They were troubled saying "it is a spirit" and they cried out for help
But straightway Jesus spake unto them saying
"Be of good cheer! It is I; be not afraid"
And Peter answered him and said
"Lord if it be thou, let me come unto thee on the water"

And he said "come"
And when Peter was come down out of the ship,
He walked on the water, to go to Jesus
But when he saw the wind boisterous,
He was afraid; and beginning to sink
He cried, saying; "Lord save me"
Peter was doing fine as long he had his eyes on Jesus
But when he look away at the rolling waves about
He began to sink
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand
And caught him and said unto him,
"O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt"
Being tossed in this life by disappointments and temptations
We are very much the same as this disciple
If we want to walk with Jesus
We must keep our eyes on Him
And not the pleasure of this world.
