Look Away

We are shadows, we are echoes

Craving praise and flaunting pride

But the emptiness in our souls

Will ne'er be satisfied.

If we are getting pleasure

From our own sufficiency

And not seeking truer treasure

Lord- we need to be set free

Look away, look away, look away from your self

Look to Jesus Look to Jesus as your treasure and your wealth

Look away, look away, look away from this world

Look to Jesus Look to Jesus as your priceless pearl

There is nothing more beyond,

He is the end of our quest

There is nothing better,

Christ is all of the best...

His presence and His promise

Fulfills all our desires

Now we are not dominated

By the chains that sin requires

Look away, look away, look away from your self

Look to Jesus Look to Jesus as your treasure and your wealth

Look away, look away, look away from this world

Look to Jesus Look to Jesus as your priceless pearl

If from Christ we feed and drink

He satisfies our soul-thirst

Beyond all we ask or think

If we will seek Him first

Look away, look away, look away from your self

Look to Jesus Look to Jesus as your treasure and your wealth

Look away, look away, look away from this world

Look to Jesus Look to Jesus as your priceless pearl
