1989. Linda and I recorded it on a Tascam 234 4-track tape machine synced to an Ensoniq ESQ-1 keyboard's built-in sequencer. Stone Age tools! But the message is timeless.

Hebrews 12:2
Lyrics
You've been hurt so bad by the ones you love
Sometimes it seems that friends can be so cold.
Now you're all let down, and you wonder why
Instead of growing stronger you are only growing old
But don't you realize, don't you understand
Why you're disappointed time and time again
If you only knew
There is only One
Who will never disappoint you; He's a never-failing Friend
CHORUS:
keep your eyes on Jesus
Forget what other people say and do
Keep your eyes on Jesus
He's the only one who has
The power to see you through
We love to place our heroes on a pedestal
But nobody's perfect, no one at all
And as the pedestal of clay begins to crumble down
"The bigger they are, the harder they fall!"
(Repeat CHORUS)
If you will fix your eyes on Jesus Christ
He will bless your hear in ways you can't conceive
He is all you want, He is all you need
He's the Author and teh Finisher of all that we believe
(Repeat CHORUS)
