1 Peter 4:6-8 (NKJV)

For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. ⁸ And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”

This song screams out to me about guarding our witness for Christ.
Its not that we are to live in fear. This would be in opposition to the liberty we discover in the grace of God. Our only fear...ever...should be the fear of God.

Guarding and keeping watch for the whiles, schemes, and traps of Satan is part of spiritual growth and wisdom.

Some of the ways that we are tripped up...!
Anger
Resentment
Gossip
Recklessness
Prejudice
Lying

We know others are watching. We really want them to don't we? That's how the good news of God and His message of hope and forgiveness is revealed; in and through us.

But we also remember that as we shine as lights in the world; its not our goodness; but a reflection of Christ.
At times we fail....that's human.
Live free
Live honest
Live right
They got one eye watching you....but God has both on YOU

They got one eye watching you

One eye, what you do?

So be careful who it is you’re talking to

They got one eye watching you

One eye, what you do?

So be careful what it is you’re tryin’ to do

And be careful when you’re walking into view

Just be careful when you’re walking into view

They got one eye watching you

And one eye, what you do?

So be careful 'cause nothing they say is true

Bu-but don’t believe a word
It’s just us against the world
And we just gotta turn to be heard

I hear the crocodiles ticking ’round the world
I hear those crocodiles ticking, they go ticking ’round the world

Got one eye on the road and one on you
