Music Spotlight & Inspiration: Fix My Eyes & Without You from For King and Country and the Story Behind the Songs

For King and Country “Fix My Eyes” Live in Studio at KLOVE

“The things of Earth are dimming in the light of Your glory and grace – I’ll set my sights upon Heaven I’m fixing my eyes on You…”


For King and Country‘s song “Fix My Eyes” from their latest album “Run Wild. Live Free. Love Strong.” is definitely an energetic anthem of faith – and it’s so darn infectious! Watch the brothers sing live above and tell the story behind the song below as they remind us to set our eyes on what is eternal and unseen instead of the temporary, as the word reminds us…


For King and Country “Fix My Eyes” Story Behind the Song

Another song from their sophomore album with a solemn, honest and heart-moving message is “Without You” which shares the story of Luke’s bout with a draining illness and the journey he and his wife Courtney (who is featured in the song) had learning to trust God whatever the outcome of the sickness would be. Watch both the official music video and the story behind the song below:

“Fix My Eyes” Lyrics

Hit rewind
Click delete
Stand face to face with the younger me
All of the mistakes
All of the heartbreak
Here’s what I’d do differently

I’d love like I’m not scared
Give when it’s not fair
Live life for another
Take time for a brother
Fight for the weak ones
Speak out for freedom
Find faith in the battle
Stand tall but above it all
Fix my eyes on you

I learned the lines and talked the talk (Everybody knows that, Everybody knows that)
But the road less traveled is hard to walk (Everybody knows that, Everybody knows)
It takes a soldier
Who knows his orders
To walk the walk I’m supposed to walk

And love like I’m not scared
Give when it’s not fair
Live life for another
Take time for a brother
Fight for the weak ones
Speak out for freedom
Find faith in the battle
Stand tall but above it all
Fix my eyes on you

The things of Earth are dimming
In the light of Your glory and grace
I’ll set my sights upon Heaven
I’m fixing my eyes on you
I’m fixing my eyes on you
I’m fixing my eyes

Love like I’m not scared
Give when it’s not fair
Live life for another
Take time for a brother
Fight for the weak ones
Speak out for freedom
Find faith in the battle
Stand tall but above it all
Fix my eyes on you
I fix my eyes on you
I fix my eyes on you
