Since we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses,
Let us lay aside each weight,
Lay aside the sin that so easily entangles us,
And run the race.
Let us run with endurance the race set before us,
Run with endurance, fixing our eyes.
Fixing our eyes on Jesus Christ,
Author, Perfecter of our faith,
Fixing our eyes on Jesus Christ,
Let us run this race.
Let us look to Jesus, who for the joy set before Him
Endured the shame
of the cross.
Now He is seated at the right hand of the Father,
At the throne of God.
Let us run with endurance the race set before us,
Run with endurance, fixing our eyes.
Fixing our eyes on Jesus Christ,
Author, Perfecter of our faith,
Fixing our eyes on Jesus Christ,
Let us run this race, run this race
With our eyes on Jesus Christ,
Author, Perfecter of our faith.
Fixing our eyes on Jesus Christ,
Let us run this race.
Consider Him, who shed His blood, shed his blood,
That you may not grow faint.
Consider Him, our risen Lord, our risen Lord,
That you may not grow weary.
Consider Him, consider Him.

Gilberto wrote this song back in 1996 and we really enjoy singing it in church. The lyrics are Hebrews 12:2 sung verbatim. - Elton

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
The author and perfecter of our faith.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
The author and perfecter of our faith.
Who for the joy set before him endured the cross.
Who for the joy set before him endured the cross.
Scorning its shame, Scorning its shame.
And sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
And sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Orchestra Interlude (this was added by Sergio Decosta in our first prison concert)
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
The author and perfecter of our faith.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
The author and perfecter of our faith.
Who for the joy set before him endured the cross.
Who for the joy set before him endured the cross.
Scorning its shame, Scorning its shame.
And sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
And sat down at the right hand of the throne of
God.

Would you lose your load of sin?
Fix your eyes upon Jesus;
Would you know God’s peace within?
Fix your eyes upon Jesus;
Refrain
Jesus who on the cross did die,
Jesus who lives and reigns on high,
He alone can justify;
Fix your eyes upon Jesus.
Would you calmly walk the wave?
Fix your eyes upon Jesus;
Would you know His pow’r to save?
Fix your eyes upon Jesus;
Refrain
Would you have your cares grow light?
Fix your eyes
upon Jesus;
Would you songs have in the night?
Fix your eyes upon Jesus;
Refrain
Grieving, would you comfort know?
Fix your eyes upon Jesus;
Humble be when blessings flow?
Fix your eyes upon Jesus;
Refrain
Would you strength in weakness have?
Fix your eyes upon Jesus;
See a light beyond the grave?
Fix your eyes upon Jesus;
Refrain
