MY HEART IS
FIXED
LYRICS
Verse 1:
My heart is fixed, O Lord, on Thee
Thy precious name my trust shall be
And on Thy Word of life and light
My soul shall rest by day and night
Verse 2:
From Thee, the Life, the Truth, the Way
O, grant that I would never stray
But seek Thy constant aid in prayer
And find my sweetest comfort there
Chorus:
My heart is fixed on Thee!
My heart is fixed on Thee!
Verse 3:
My heart is fixed, but oh I need
Thy gentle hand my steps to lead
To shield and guard me hour by hour
And keep me from the Tempter's pow'r
Verse 4:
My heart is fixed, O Savior mine
On me with beams of glory shine
Till safely o'er life's troubled seas
I come to dwell in peace with Thee

Knowing that Fanny Crosby was blind almost from birth helps us understand her lyrics, which may be why she would choose to say that her “heart is fixed” rather than her “eyes are fixed,” which is more commonly said. But does it not sound truer when we say, “My heart is fixed on Thee?
