~ How Can I? ~

How can I keep my gaze on Thee?

How can I teach my eyes to see?

How can my heart more faithful be?

Chorus:

I am alone when I lower my gaze,

When I turn from Your path,

And I stray from Your ways.

But, I am at home, when I look to Your face,

When I walk in Your truth,

As I'm led by Your grace.

How can I raise my voice in song?

How can I honor You all day long?

How can my words to You belong?

How can I fold my hands to pray?

How can I bend my knees today?

How can my faith increase alway?

Hebrews 12:1-3 

"1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about 

with so great a cloud of witnesses, 

let us lay aside every weight, and the sin 

which doth so easily beset us, 

and let us run with patience 

the race that is set before us, 

2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher 

of our faith; who for the joy that was 

set before him endured the cross, 

despising the shame, and is set down 

at the right hand of the throne of God. 

3 For consider him that endured such contradiction 

of sinners against himself, 

lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds."
