I Fix My Eye

From Calvary a cry was heard
A bitter cry that tears the heart
My Savior, ev'ry mournful word
Tells how Your soul was torn apart
A horror of deep darkness fell
On You, the spotless Holy One
And all the swarming hosts of hell
Conspired to tempt God's only Son

Lord, on Your cross I fix my eye
But if my gaze should lose control
Oh, let Your dying, piercing cry
Melt and reclaim my wandering soul
Melt and reclaim my wandering soul

The scourge, the thorns, the deep disgrace
That You could bear without a tear
But when the Father veiled His face
Such grief that You alone must bear
Oh, let the dumb world's silence break
Let pealing anthems rip the sky
Awake my sluggish soul, awake
He died that we might never die

Lord, on Your cross I fix my eye
But if my gaze should lose control
Oh, let Your dying, piercing cry
Melt and reclaim my wandering soul
Melt and reclaim my wandering soul
