fixed

my mind has wavered, troubled
and this welcome rebuke from my Lord
has settled me

when your eyes are fixed on Me
when your eyes are fixed on Me
peace falls

but where are you looking?
you fix your eyes on what is behind you
you fix your eyes on what waits ahead of you
and your thoughts swirl and sway
and anxiety has its way with you

you can choose, little one
perfect peace
fix your eyes on perfect love
fix your eyes on perfect glory

You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace 
whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, 
because he commits himself to You, 
leans on You, and hopes confidently in You
