Rebecca St. James - Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus Lyrics
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
Written by Helen Howarth Lemmel
Rebecca's Intro:
Lamentations 5:21 (KJV)
"Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD,
and we shall be turned"
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There's light for a look at the Savior
And life more abundant and free!
CHORUS:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth
Will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there
Over us sin no more hath dominion
For more than conquerors we are!
His Word shall not fail you-He promised
Believe Him, and all will be well
Then go to a world that is dying
His perfect salvation to tell
