Look to God and Live!
I composed "Look to God and Live!" with the desire to encourage greater faith and trust in the Lord as we serve Him. The Bible tells of the Israelites who came to Moses complaining of their sufferings in the wilderness. He was instructed by the Lord to raise a brass serpent on a pole [symbolizing the sting of death] and if they would simply look upon it, they would live! This event was a type of Christ: For "...as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life" John 3:14-15).

Lyrics
Text and Music: Diane Tuiofu
Verse One
With arms of mercy, He carried the weak,
Brought healing in His hands to the meek,
Made the blind to see,
Bid, “Come unto me.”
Chorus
O Savior ease my burden,
Calm my troubled heart,
Help mine unbelief,
Increase my faith in Thee.
Verse Two
Tender mercies sent from above
Assure me of my Savior’s love.
I’ll forsake my sins,
And follow Him.
Second Chorus
I’ll ease another’s burden,
Calm a troubled heart,
Help the unbelieving
Increase their faith in Him.
I’ll serve with more compassion,
My time and talents give,
To comfort and uplift.
I will look to God and live.
Verse Three
In God’s mercy, He sent His own Son.
Through Him came the resurrection;
Through Him was death undone!
Christ paid the price of our sins
That we may gain eternal life With Him!
Repeat Chorus Two with Verses intertwined
In every need I will look to Him,
In every deed I will follow Him, Follow Him.
I will look to God and live, I’ll live.
I’ll follow Him, follow Him And live.
