Look Up

You look at what is all around At sights and lights and fights and sound That threaten to distract your soul From things that truly make you whole Look up, don’t think this fallen earth Will give you gifts of life, of worth Good gifts shall come from Yah above Who showers us with endless love The vain delights this earth can give Don’t give you any strength to live The treasures of this earth don’t stay With wings of birds, they fly away Look up, for hope’s not found in dust In silver, gold, or things that rust But look at Yehovah, you’ll see Unending hope that sets you free Don’t think that you’ll find joy or rest In earthly things. The very best Of earthy joys can barely start To fill the holes within your heart Look up, and know that He who made The sky gives joys that never fade With him we walk in strength and peace In great travails, when comforts cease Don’t let your heart be troubled when You see this world of pain and sin Don’t set your heart on what you hear On troubles, strife, or things you fear Look up, and trust your heart with Him Who made the bud upon the limb Who gives the mighty trees their leaves Who’s always near and never leaves When life is very harsh and dark You try to find a little spark Of light, of hope, to light your way You long to see the light of day Look up and see the stars, the moon And understand that very soon Our King will come, and slay the night More faithful than the sun, He’s light When all looks twisted, sick, and wrong Remember! Sing a little song To Him who gave His life for you Who’s always loving, just and true Look up, and see, our Savior lives! What power, grace, and peace He gives! Oh, hope and trust and never fear Look up, for your redemption’s near
