I only want to do what You are leading me to do
Others may object, and my intentions misconstrue
That is not my worry, I don’t need to justify
Help me to be obedient, with singleness of eye

The enemy sends his plans to distract and then destroy
We get off track so easily and then we lose our joy
Help me fix my gaze as I run the race to win
Lay aside the weight that entices me to sin

I’ll not look to man for approval as You lead
That could be a snare, lying wait, amongst the weed
Your Presence my chief joy as I seek to follow You
All else seems to fade when Your face comes into view

Psalm 27:4 – “One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.”

Proverbs 4:25–27 – “Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. 26 Give careful thought to the[c] paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. 27 Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.”
