Singing Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
Come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to hill. Psalm 95:1-2
“Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” is a hymn that invites us to focus on Christ in the midst of life’s challenges. Written by Helen Howarth Lemmel, it encourages us to look to Jesus for comfort and guidance: “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.”
Singing this hymn helps us to shift our focus from our worries and distractions to the loving presence of Jesus. It reminds us that when we fix our eyes on Him, everything else fades in comparison to His glory and grace.
Whenever you feel overwhelmed today or perhaps this week, take a moment to turn your eyes upon Jesus and pray for His peace and guidance.
Prayer for today: Lord Jesus, help us to turn our eyes upon You and to find peace and comfort in Your presence. As we sing this hymn, may our hearts be drawn closer to You and may we trust in Your guidance and love. Let Your glory and grace fill our lives. In Your name, Amen.
