Everything else fades away
When You step on the scene
In my heart take center stage
And I’ll follow Your lead
Yeah let me step aside
And put Your name in lights
Headline this life
All eyes on You
In everything I do
Everywhere I move
Let Your love shine through
So all the world can see
You’ve taken over me
Let me be a reflection of Your truth (and turn)
All eyes on You
You burn brighter than a million stars
And nothing can compare
Let me shadow who You are
Every second and everywhere
Yeah I was blind but now I see
You gave it all to set me free
So everyday till my time is gone
I’ll live my life turning eyes on
No matter where I am
No matter who I’m with
With everything I do let it point to You

I have been offering support to the families of hospice patients for almost six years now. I have been blessed to witness many stories, struggles, and victories over the years. Through everything I’ve heard, there has been one general thought that continues to present itself. This thought surrounds the loss of direction, a loss of focus. We tend to not know where to look or turn, if even for an instant, when something unexpected occurs. Not just in grief, but also in fear, in sadness, in anger, we tend to lose focus on where we need to be looking—on Who we need to be looking at. This song states perfectly Who we do, in fact, need to be focusing on—“All eyes on You…”.
In everything, we need to be focusing on and walking towards and planting our hearts and minds on one thing…on one Person, God. The Bible states numerous times that He is our Strength, our Refuge, our Fortress, our sense of Strength. And when we focus on Him during those unexpected times, as well as during the good times, really during all times, we will never lose focus. We will never feel lost, and we will be an example to those around us to do the same.
Ladies, remember today to keep all eyes on Him, in everything we say and in everything we do.

Let’s pray: Dear Heavenly Father, You are the only direction we need, when we need to know where to go. You are the beacon of Light for us and for the world. Your love guides us when it seems as if nothing else will. Thank You for that love that shines through our darkest times. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
