New Song: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus!

We love to sing.

And we especially love to sing songs that let the word of Christ dwell in us richly (Col. 3:15). There is nothing greater to sing about than the grace, mercy, & peace given freely in Jesus Christ!

On their latest album, Sovereign Grace Music re-tuned the old hymn Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus. This Sunday we will sing it again together.

Here is a live video of the song. (Side note: If you are interested in learning more of the songs we sing, subscribe to Sovereign Grace Music’s YouTube channel to listen when you clean/run/eat/fish/etc.)

Here are the lyrics:

VERSE 1
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

VERSE 2
Turn your eyes to the hillside
Where justice and mercy embraced
There the Son of God gave His life for us
And our measureless debt was erased

CHORUS
Jesus, to You we lift our eyes
Jesus, our glory and our prize
We adore You, behold You, our Savior ever true
Oh Jesus, we turn our eyes to You

VERSE 3
Turn your eyes to the morning
And see Christ the Lion awake
What a glorious dawn, fear of death is gone
For we carry His life in our veins

VERSE 4
Turn your eyes to the heavens
Our King will return for His own
Every knee will bow, every tongue will shout,
‘All glory to Jesus alone!’
