Songs today do not seem to express the soul’s deep longing for an intimate relationship with Jesus. I want to share with you one my favorite old hymns. This is one that has made its way into modern society. However, it’s only the chorus that has made its way through time and I find that to be somewhat saddening. The WHOLE song should be sung. It is a song of salvation and how when you turn your focus fully onto the Lord, how everything else around you losses it’s luster. At the end of the hymn is a link to a website where you can listen to the song in its entirety. Blessings as you enjoy a few moments of heart-felt deep worship.

Oh 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

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there
O’er us sin no more hath dominion
For more than conquerors we are

Oh 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

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

Oh 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

Oh turn your
Oh turn your
Oh turn your, eyes upon Jesus
Oh turn your
Oh turn your
Oh turn your, eyes upon Jesus
