Look Up

They were once little boys

Who looked up to you

Now they’re grown men

You quite literally look up to

You raised them well

One day at a time

Now you raise your gaze

To look into their eyes

They say hard times

Make the strongest of men

And I’d say that’s true

Seeing their strength come from within

Within the protection

Of a life kept in Christ

Within God’s perfect love

Strengthened by His sacrifice

That unconditional love

Will continue to strengthen you

As you all cling to Him

And He gets you all through

Whatever trials come

Because they inevitably will

Keep your eyes fixed on Him

He’ll keep your heart still

Because if those little boys

Who once looked up to you

Are now men looking up to God

And you’re looking up to Him, too

That gaze will steady you all

As His love holds you tight

With a bond that can’t be broken

Keeping you all in His sight

Look up to Him

He’ll look out for you

Look up to Him

He’ll see you through
