Janet Blair has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Oh Be My Vision.
Janet shared: "This song was written for a ballet studio in Thomasville, NC, as part of a song giveaway I did last year. The studio received a Lauren Daigle-esque ballad that focused on the student's needs to work hard and keep their eyes fixed on Jesus.
This song compares our lives to a dance performance - the initial darkness and voices in your head, the blinding brightness of the spotlight as people critique and criticize, the mixed feelings of the final bow, and the need to submit all these things to Jesus and fix our eyes on Him."
Lyrics:
Ghost of failures
Past, present and to come
And ghosts of the victories
I’ll win and I’ve won
Dance in the shadows
Of my haunted mind
They want my attention
But I’ve turned my eyes
‘Cause you’re my vision
The world is dark
My fears are caught within
You are my vision
The spotlight shines
It blinds my eyes again
You are my vision
The curtain call,
And it all comes to an end.
In the swirl of my mind,
Jesus fix my eyes on you.
I Can’t take a leap
Until I bend
Can’t reach a dream
If I don’t extend.
Oh be my vision
The world is dark
My fears are caught within
Oh be my vision
The spotlight shines
It blinds my eyes again
Oh be my vision
The curtain call,
And it all comes to an end.
In the swirl of my mind,
Jesus fix my eyes on you.
When the world starts to spin around me
You are my spot, my grounding
And when I’m tired and my strength is failing
You are the arms around me.
You’ll be my vision
The world is dark
My fears are caught within
You’ll be my vision
The spotlight shines
It blinds my eyes again
You’ll be my vision
The curtain call,
And it all comes to an end.
In the swirl of my mind,
Jesus fix my eyes on you.
