Song Meaning

People & Songs build this one around a single instruction repeated across every verse — "I'll fix my eyes on Jesus, till the things of this earth all pass away." The phrase reaches directly for Hebrews 12:2's instruction to run the race of faith "looking to Jesus, the author and perfector of faith."

The bridge quotes Isaiah 6:3 directly — "holy, holy, holy Lord" — the same seraphim's cry from Isaiah's vision of the throne room, here anticipated as something the singer will one day join "face to face with the Lord of hosts." "His goodness and mercy overshadow my deepest despair" keeps the song honest about real difficulty before the bridge's vision of glory, the fixed gaze described as something maintained through darkness rather than only celebrated after it.

Chorus

I lift up my head 

I sing out a song 

I’ll fix my eyes on Jesus 

Till the things of this earth 

All pass away 

I fix my eyes on Jesus 


Verse 1: 

O soul, if you are weary

If there’s no light 

in the darkness you see

There is light, look at the savior

You’ll find a life 

more abundant and free


Chorus: 

I lift up my head 

I sing out  a song 

I’ll fix my eyes 

on  Jesus 

Till the things of this earth 

All pass away 

I fix my eyes 

on  Jesus 

All pass away 

I fix my eyes on Jesus


Verse 2:

Take heart, 

His goodness and mercy

Overshadow 

my deepest despair 

Through death to life everlasting, 

Jesus leads on 

and we follow Him  there


Chorus:


I lift up my head 

I sing out a song 

I’ll fix my eyes on Jesus 

Till the things of this earth 

All pass away 

I fix my eyes on Jesus  


Bridge:

I will shine in light 

behold His glory

come face to face

with the Lord of hosts

I will join  the song

Of thousands, ten-thousands

Holy, Holy Lord


2nd:

Holy, Holy

Holy, Holy

Holy, Holy Lord


Chorus:

I lift up my head 

I sing out a song 

I’ll fix my eyes on Jesus 

Till the things of this earth 

All pass away 

I fix my eyes on Jesus 

All pass away 



Inspired by the hymn "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" first published the hymn in England as a pamphlet in 1918, and then included it in a 1922 collection called Glad Songs.
