Watching You

 Watching You

 1  

All along on the road  to the soul's true abode,  

There’s an eye watching you;  

Ev’ry step that you take  this great eye is awake,  

There’s an eye watching you.  

2  

As you make life’s great fight,  keep the pathway of right,  

There’s an eye watching you;  

God will warn not to go  in the path of the foe,  

There’s an eye watching you.  

3  

Fix your mind on the goal,  that sweet home of the soul,  

There’s an eye watching you;  

Never turn from the way  to the kingdom of day,  

There’s an eye watching you.  

Refrain:  

Watching you, watching you,  

Ev’ry day mind the course you pursue,  

Watching you, watching you,  

There’s an all seeing Eye watching you.

This video is not high quality, musically, but I suspect it's pretty close to the way it sounded when we used to sing it (without the drums and hand clapping, of course). Makes me think of Papa Burford (Lester) with his fine tenor voice.

Matthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.    

Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.    

Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.    

Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.    

Luke 12:6-7 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.    

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
