Lock On to Jesus Christ
A short, bright, fearless chant for children — lock on to Jesus Christ, and keep your heart held tight. It teaches little ones to fix their eyes on Christ and follow where He leads, steadfast and unmoved, with peace like a river running straight through the noise of fear, pressure, and distraction. And it turns the world's idea of courage inside out: because we fear the Lord all day long, we can be fearless everywhere we go.

Bible verse · Little lesson
A verse to hide in your heart
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Little lesson for little hearts
Peter walked on the water while his eyes were on Jesus — but "when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid" and began to sink (Matthew 14:30). That is what this little song is about: whatever we lock our eyes on is what we follow. So the Bible tells us to lay aside every weight and run our race "looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12:1–2). Jesus is not only our example; He is the One who begins and finishes our faith — He endured the cross and rose again so that our sins could be washed away and our hearts held tight in Him. A heart locked on Christ can stand steady: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee" (Isaiah 26:3), and He sends peace "like a river" (Isaiah 66:12). And here is the happy trade this song sings: because we fear the LORD all day long — honoring Him, listening to Him, minding Him — we can be fearless everywhere we go, for "the fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil" (Proverbs 19:23). Lock on to Jesus, and follow where He goes.
