Two supremely talented and musically gifted siblings, The Malpass Brothers, turned in a spirited and soul-stirring rendition of the beloved gospel tune “Keep Your Eyes on Jesus.”

The world is full of distractions. Due to the rushed and often frenetic nature of everyday life, it can be easy to become too focused on something happening or going on in one’s life. Yes, life, what happens in our lives, and those friends and loved ones in our lives are important. 

But it’s essential to keep things in perspective. What may seem like a monumental, life-changing matter at the time probably means very little in the long run. All people tend to do that, but what did that pressing issue really mean in the grand scheme? Not very much at all.

That’s why keeping our focus and eyes on Jesus Christ is paramount. The Bible says in Matthew that we are first to seek His kingdom and righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. 

Also, Christ will offer His guidance and care during life’s storms. He has always been faithful; there is no reason to believe He won’t be this time.

In a clip posted on YouTube, The Malpass Brothers sing a tune about remaining focused on Christ and avoiding the many distractions in life that can change our focus and attention.

“Keep your eyes on Jesus

When the tidal waves of trouble ‘round you roll

Keep your eyes on Jesus

He will calm the storms of life that cost your soul”

That is an absolutely beautifully written chorus about Christ’s love, protection, guidance and faithfulness. Those lyrics are also words that Christ’s followers can trust and live by, knowing that whatever may come up and happen, He is still in control and at work.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
