1973

Look to Jesus

In "Look to Jesus," Carrie Collins sets her own poetry to music. She self-published the song in 1973.

Text

Let’s look to Jesus to show us the way
Let’s look to Jesus each and ev’ry day
If you just trust in Him, He’ll heal your sin sick soul
And start you today in the Christian way

If you’re in doubt just stand still and pray
Never forget God is never late
Just follow Him and know that He will see you through
In your hour of need, try Him, only believe

When you despair you’ll find Him there
Walk by faith along the narrow way
Just put your hand in Jesus to help you see and stand
And do His will, wear the Christian shield

Reflect your life so that others may see
Strive to give God all that you can be
If you just look to Jesus to guide you without fear
And show the world how we all must live

If you just look to Jesus to guide you without fear
And show the world how we all must live
