Hi, this song has the answer to life's worst situations. When all is lost, turn your eyes upon Jesus. When you don't know where to turn, turn your eyes upon Jesus. The Bible does not guarantee happiness and financial success to Christians, but regardless of what happens we have security in Christ.
This is where we are now in life. We are about to loose our house to foreclosure, and we have no where to go. If we get anything at all from the foreclosure sale, it won't be for another 3 weeks. Thankfully 2 kids are employed part-time or we wouldn't have anything. Therefore, we have no where else to turn but to Jesus. We are trying to rely upon Him for everything. It's tough and scary, but we are believing He will somehow see us through this dark time in the valley of life.
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus was written by Helen Howarth Lemmel in 1922. Here are the lyrics:
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!
Refrain:
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.
Thro' death into life everlasting,
He passed, and we follow Him there;
O’er us sin no more hath dominion--
For more than conqu’rors 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!
