Affection On Things Above
By George Thurlow
Lord I set my eyes upon
Those things which are above...
Ever focused, ever fixed
Engaged by your great love.
It's not about the earthly goods
That linger but a day.
My affection's on eternal things
That never fade away.

In The Spirit I'm seated high...
For things of the world don't matter
When you are right near by.
The old man I gladly mortify
And crucify his flesh...
To be seated with Christ in Glory
To live anew and fresh.
A servant unto righteousness
No more a slave to sin...
For sin has no dominion
On those who are raised with Him.
I set my affections high above
And put on the brand new man.
I'm seated with Christ in the heavenlies
Who's seated by God's hand.
