***
Look! with a steady and expectant gaze at the pole,
and the baggage and weight will fall off
Look down, and you will sink into the ground
Keep your eyes up, and a star will guide
Look down, and the slithering creature will bite
Look up at the Source of Life, and you will live
Look up, for redemption draws near.
There is hope. There is victory and deliverance in Him, in Christ
As He was yesterday, so is He today and tomorrow
Gaze at the Lord and live.
