Keep My Eyes Up (Song Session) - Ryan Ellis

I look to You, not the left or the right You are my vision, You are the prize I'm grounded in love, my faith's taking flight And hope is still burning through the dead of the night I keep my eyes up, I keep my eyes up I keep my eyes up, I keep my eyes up To the One that I love, the One that I trust, Jesus I keep my eyes up, I keep my eyes up Your eyes full of fire, Your face like the sun Your robe fills the temple from all the battles You've won And there's nothing to fear 'cause You've overcome The work that You finished cannot be undone I keep my eyes up, I keep my eyes up (Yes, I do, yeah) I keep my eyes up, I keep my eyes up (Oh, yeah) To the One that I love, the One that I trust, Jesus I keep my eyes up, I keep my eyes up And when the whole Earth is shaking Heaven keeps singing Holy, holy, holy is the Lord And when the whole Earth is shaking Oh, Heaven keeps singing Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Yes, I will sing holy, holy, holy is the Lord I keep my eyes up, I keep my eyes up (Yes, I do, yeah) I keep my eyes up, I keep my eyes up (Oh, yeah) To the One that I love, the One that I trust, Jesus I keep my eyes up, I keep my eyes up (Yeah, yeah, yeah) I keep my eyes up, I keep my eyes up (Yes, I do, yeah) I keep my eyes up, I keep my eyes up (Oh, yeah) To the One that I love, to the One that I trust, Jesus I keep my eyes up, I keep my eyes up

It's time you learned a lesson It's time that you understand Don't ever count on anybody else In this or any other land I once hoped for friendship To find a place among my kind But those were the childish wishes Of someone who was blind Open up your eyes See the world from where I stand Me among the mighty You caged at my command Open up your eyes Give up your sweet fantasy land It's time to grow up and get wise Come now, little one Open up your eyes We all start out the same With simple naïve trust Shielded from the many way That life's not fair or just But then there comes a moment With simple truth that you must face If you depend on others You'll never find your place And as you take that first step Upon a path that's all your own You see it all so clearly The best way to survive is all alone Open up your eyes See the world from where I stand Me among the mighty You caged at my command Open up your eyes And behold the faded light It's time to grow up and get wise Come now, little one Open up your eyes Open up your eyes

Hand out, she holds It's feeling like we've been here before We're both so broke That something it'll keep us afloat Don't walk too slow We can't keep falling deeper again Came too close and the taste so far from pure A rush of blood but we search for so much more We've all been here before We've all been here before We've all been here before Hand out, she holds It's feeling like we've been here before We're both so broke That something it'll keep us afloat Don't walk too slow We can't keep falling deeper again Came too close and the taste so far from pure A rush of blood but we search for so much more We've all been here before We've all been here before We've all been here before We've all been here before We've all been here before

You made a path for me to walk Paved with blood and mercy So I will have a grateful heart No matter what the journey I know You're with me as I go I've never left Your side And though I'm not yet home You'll lead me to the other side I'm here in the tension now My feet are on solid ground And I don't mind confessing My head is in Heaven I'm here in the in-between I'm reaching for what's unseen Yeah, I don't mind confessing My head is in Heavеn Oh-oh, my head is in Heaven And еvery blessing that I have Is a blessing from above I know I often forget it But You don't hold back Your love And I'm thankful for the moments I get to feel You so close And even when I am hurting I know I'm never alone I'm here in the tension now My feet are on solid ground And I don't mind confessing My head is in Heaven I'm here in the in-between I'm reaching for what's unseen Yeah, I don't mind confessing My head is in Heaven Oh-oh, my head is in Heaven I'm in two places at one time, one time I'm in two places at one time, one time I'm in two places at one time, one time I'm in two places at one time, one time (Ooh) I'm here in the tension now My feet are on solid ground (Ooh-ooh) And I don't mind confessing My head is in Heaven I'm here in the in-between I'm reaching for what's unseen Yeah, I don't mind confessing My head is in Heaven (Yeah) My head is in Heaven (I'm in two places at one time) I'm in two places at one time, one time (One time) I'm in two places at one time, one time I'm in two places at one time, one time (Oh, one time, one time) I'm in two places at one time, one time (One time) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I'm in two places at one time, ooh-ooh (Ooh) My head is in Heaven
