Representative Text

1 My heart is fixed O God on Thee,
No more my feet shall go astray;
I caught a glimpse of Calvary,
And now I walk with Christ today.

Refrain:
My heart is fixed O! God on Thee,
My eyes are now on things above,
From worldly yokes,
Praise God I’m free,
I’m running o’er with joy and love.

2 One time I wandered far away,
I did not heed the Shepherd’s voice;
My heart on God is fixed today,
For He is my eternal choice. [Refrain]

3 My heart is fixed my face is set,
Upon the prize that lies before;
All other claims I will reject,
My heart is fixed forevermore. [Refrain]

4 No longer tossed upon the waves,
Of sin and doubt but now I sail;
Within the life boat, Jesus saves,
No storms against me shall prevail. [Refrain]
