[Verse 1]
When my heart is overwhelmed
And it seems that all my hope is gone
That's when God steps in
Things that were impossible
Suddenly are possible again
And the miracle begins
[Chorus]
Keep your eyes on Him
'Til the storm passes over
He can calm the wind
To a whisper with His word
Peace, be still
Hear the words of the Savior
All is well
Keep your eyes on Him
[Verse 2]
Seasons come and seasons go
It makes no difference
All I need to know
My God is in control
Through stormy winds and raging seas
He'll be there protecting you and me
Our God is in control
[Chorus]
Keep your eyes on Him
'Til the storm passes over
He can calm the wind
To a whisper with His word
Peace, be still
Hear the words of the Savior
All is well
Keep your eyes on Him
God will always make a way
Miracles can happen
You'll see nothing is impossible
If you just believe
[Verse 3]
What a mighty God we serve
What a mighty God
He's wonderful, so marvelous
What a mighty God
He can do anything, oh, anything
Yes. He can
[Chorus]
God will always make a way
Miracles can happen
You'll see nothing is impossible
If you just believe
Keep your eyes on Him
'Til the storm passes over
He can calm the wind
To a whisper with His word
Peace, be still
Hear the words of the Savior
All is well
Keep your eyes on Him
Peace, be still
Oh, yes
All is well
Keep your eyes on Him
Peace, be still
Oh, yes
All is well
Keep your eyes on Him
[Verse 4]
Oh, yes
Keep Your Eyes On Him
Song Meaning
Don Moen builds "Keep Your Eyes On Him" almost entirely out of one scene from the Gospels — Jesus calming the storm with a single word. "He can calm the wind to a whisper with His word, peace, be still" lifts that moment directly from Mark's account, and the whole song functions as an extended application of it: whatever storm the listener is currently in, the same authority that quieted the sea is still available.
"Seasons come and seasons go, it makes no difference" keeps the song's claim from being tied to any one type of crisis — the point isn't that this particular storm will pass quickly, but that God's control doesn't fluctuate with circumstances. "What a mighty God we serve... He can do anything" shifts briefly from address to declaration, functioning almost as a standalone praise interlude inside the larger song.
The repeated instruction of the title — keep your eyes on Him — treats focus itself as the practical response being asked for, not a vague comfort. It's less about explaining why the storm exists and more about where attention belongs while it's still raging.
