Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus - story behind the hymn

[@doncraig9117]

When I was 5 years old my mother died of cancer. She left behind my brother who just turned 8 and my sister who just turned 4. I heard her favorite song was this song. She loved Jesus and all 3 of us will see her again!. The year was 1955.

[@blueskies386]

What a great hope! To see your Mom again! Jesus is our Blessed Hope.

[@Psychiatrick]

Yes! I was ailing with cancer myself ... I preyed to that bastard JeZEUS only to get sicker and sicker and sicker ... I dumped that ass whole and embraced heavenly Father ... DOORS OPENED WIDE!!! He gave me over 25 more years and tonnes of knowledge! Praise be to Heavenly Father and to Hell with JeZEUS who is the LORD of the Rings of Saturn! You might like to rethink being a SLAVE to the LORD of the Rings of Saturn and return to being a son of Heavenly Father!

1955 was the year i came to America at age ten. i was so frightened upon landed in Greenville, MS. I have never seen so many Black folks nor speaks a word in English. I was raised in Hong Kong orphanage when both my parents were murdered at the end of WWII Japanese occupation of HK. I was only 9 months old when my uncle and my eight years old sister who carried me on her back to the Fanling Babies' Home in Fanling NT. To make this testimony short, God watched over me through many trials especially going through Viet Nam War nearly killed during the Tet Offensive of 1968 wounded by a 122mm rocket landed few yards from our two story wooden barrack. I would not have this opportunity to write this God's unseen hand, carried me through the flood and fury fire. Praise God!

I was a hospice nurse for 10 years. I have sang this chorus at least 100 time as followers of christ took their last breath. God bless me with a voice to sing for his glory. One family member said as her grandmother passed. "It was like you sang a lullaby to her as she entered heaven ". I was so privileged to share the gospel with my voice. I'm so happy we found your ministry. God bless you.

I was not raised in church, but I heard this hymn when I did attend with various friends as a kid. Years later, as an adult, self medicating with alcohol and drugs, trying to escape from my childhood trauma, my past, my mistakes, I had come to the very end of my rope. I fell to my knees and cried out to God and asked Him, WHAT did I need to do to get rid of my addiction to alcohol and rid myself of these horrible feelings. At that very moment, God sent this hymn to my mind. As I heard the lyrics in my head and LISTENED to the words, I realized God was telling me, I just had to turn my eyes on Him, stay focused on Him, and HE would take care of the rest. And He did. He cured me of my need for alcohol. A week later a friend had asked me to drink with her, not thinking, I agreed. When I tried to drink, I drank a half of a beer and got immediately sick. Nauseous and instant migraine. Then I remembered what He promised. It took me a long time, but God never gave up on me

[@gregrobertson2726]

You’re so lucky. It’s true you’ve obviously had a divine intervention. He has spoken similarly to me. When it happens you know it. Give glory to Him!

🍃(2) THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world" "God and Man Enter into Rest Together". ... (The approaching end of all things indicates the end of God's work and indicates the end of human development. Adam and Eve in the beginning did not do evil, but Adam and Eve who were cast out from the Garden of Eden made evil by Satan. When God and Man enter into rest together, Adam and Eve--who were cast out of the Garden of Eden--and their descendants will come to an end.; mankind, of the future will still consist of the descendants of Adam and Eve, but they will not be people who live under Satan's control. Instead, they will be people who have been saved and purified. This will be a humanity that has been judged and chastened, and one who is holy. Only this group of people will enter into the final rest with God. The essence of God's work of chastisement and judgment is to purify mankind, and it is for the day of the final rest. This phase of His work is His most--delicate work. This is the last stage of the totality of His rule. When He finishes His work, all mankind will be completely holy.) Almighty God said These are what is NECESSARY for GOD and MAN to enter REST. The APPROACHING END of ALL THINGS SIGNIFIES the END of GOD'S WORK and SIGNIFIES the END of HUMANITY'S PROGRESS. ☀️ This MEANS that HUMANITY made EVIL by SATAN has REACHED the END of PROGRESS, and that the DESCENDANTS of ADAM and EVE are MULTIPLYING their ENDS, and this also MEANS that it is IMPOSSIBLE for such HUMANITY, that SATAN has ALREADY made EVIL, to CONTINUE to PROGRESS. ☀️ ADAM and EVE in the BEGINNING were NOT made EVIL, BUT ADAM and EVE who were THROWN OUT of the GARDEN of EDEN were made EVIL by SATAN. When GOD and MAN ENTER TOGETHER into REST, ADAM and EVE---who were DRIVEN out of the GARDEN of EDEN---and their DESCENDANTS will COME to an END; the HUMANITY of the FUTURE will STILL be MADE UP of the DESCENDANTS of ADAM and EVE, BUT they are NOT people who LIVE under the COVERAGE of SATAN. ☀️ INSTEAD, they are PEOPLE who are SAVED and PURIFIED. This WILL BE a HUMANITY JUDGED and PUNISHED, and ONE who is HOLY. 🙏☀️ These people are not like humanity in its originality; one could say that these are a completely different type of people from the original Adam and Eve. ☀️ These PEOPLE were CHOSEN from ALL the PEOPLE made EVIL by SATAN, and THEY were the PEOPLE who LAST STAND STAND during the TIME of GOD'S JUDGMENT and PUNISHMENT; THEY are the LAST REMAINING GROUP of PEOPLE in the MIDST of EVIL MANKIND. Only this GROUP of PEOPLE will ENTER the FINAL REST with GOD. 🙏💐 The PEOPLE who will STAND STANDING during GOD'S WORK of JUDGMENT and PUNISHMENT in the LAST DAYS-----that is, DURING the FINAL WORK of CLEANSING----are PEOPLE who will ENTER the FINAL REST with GOD; therefore, PEOPLE ENTERING REST are ALL who LOST the INFLUENCE of SATAN and GAINED by GOD just AFTER UNDERGOING His FINAL WORK of CLEANSING. ☀️🙏 These PEOPLE who HAVE been COMPLETELY OBTAINED by GOD will ENTER the FINAL REST. 🙏💐 The ESSENCE of GOD'S WORK of PUNISHMENT and JUDGMENT is to CLEANSE HUMANITY, and it is for the DAY of the LAST REST. ☀️ Otherwise, all mankind will not be able to follow their own kind or enter into rest. This WORK is the ONLY WAY for MAN to ENTER REST. ONLY GOD'S WORK of CLEANSING will PURIFY MANKIND of their UNJUSTICE, and ONLY His WORK of PUBLICATION and JUDGMENT will GIVE--LIGHT to the DEFAMATORY THINGS in the MIDST of MANKIND, thus SEPARATE those who CAN be SAVED from there among those who are NOT, and those who REMAIN from there among those who are NOT. ☀️ When His WORK is FINISHED, those PEOPLE who REMAIN will be CLEANSED and ENJOY a more WONDERFUL SECOND HUMAN LIFE on EARTH as they ENTER a HIGHER realm of HUMANITY; in other words, they will ENTER the DAY of MANKIND'S REST and LIVE with GOD. 🙏 AFTER UNDERGOING PUNISHMENT and JUDGMENT those who cannot REMAIN, their ORIGINAL FORMS will be FULLY REVEALED; AFTER this they will ALL be DESTROYED and, like SATAN, will NOT be ALLOWED to REMAIN ALIVE on the SURFACE of the EARTH. 🙏 Humanity in the future will no longer consist of any of this type of people; these people are not fit to enter the land of ultimate rest, nor are they fit to enter the day of rest shared by God and man, because they are the target of punishment and the wicked, and they will not be corrected a person. 😪 They were ONCE REDEEMED, and they were also JUDGED and PUNISHED; they also ONCE SERVED GOD, but WHEN the LAST DAY COMES, they will still be REMOVED and DESTROYED because of their OWN WICKEDNESS and because of their OWN DISOBEDIENCE and being--un-redeemable. They will NOT EXIST in the FUTURE WORLD, and they will NOT EXIST among HUMAN RACES in the FUTURE.☀️ ANYONE and ALL who DO EVIL and ANYONE and ALL who are NOT SAVED will be DESTROYED when the HOLY in the MIDST of HUMANITY ENTERS REST; NO MATTER whether they are spirits of the dead or those still alive in the flesh. Regardless of whether the time includes spirits who do evil and people who do evil, or spirits of righteous people and people who do righteousness, anyone who does evil will be destroyed, and any person who is righteous will live. ☀️ Even a person or spirit who receives salvation is not entirely decided based on the work of the end times, but rather is determined based on whether they have fought or disobeyed God. If people in the past did evil and could not be saved, they were undoubtedly targets for punishment. ☀️ If the people of this age do evil and cannot be saved, they too are certain targets for punishment. PEOPLE are SEPARATED based on GOOD and BAD, NOT based on TIME. Once SEPARATED based on GOOD and BAD, PEOPLE WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY be PUNISHED or REWARDED; INSTEAD, GOD WILL ONLY PERFORM His WORK of PUNISHING the EVIL and REWARDING the GOOD AFTER He PERFORMS His OPPRESSIVE WORK in the LAST DAYS. 🙏 In truth, He USED GOOD and EVIL to SEPARATE HUMANITY ever since HE STARTED DOING His WORK in the MIDST of HUMANITY. ☀️ He will only REWARD the RIGHTEOUS and PUNISH the WICKED ONCE His WORK is PERFECTED, INSTEAD of SEPARATION of the WICKED and RIGHTEOUS ONCE His WORK has been PERFECTED at the END and THEN IMMEDIATELY SET His WORK of PUNISHING EVIL and REWARDING GOOD. His FINAL WORK of PUNISHING the EVIL and REWARDING the GOOD will be COMPLETELY COMPLETED to COMPLETELY PURIFY ALL HUMANITY, SO He CAN BRING a PERFECTLY HOLY HUMANITY into ETERNAL REST. ☀️🙏 This PHASE of His WORK is His MOST----DELICATE WORK. This is the LAST PHASE of the TOTALITY of His GOVERNMENT WORK. 🙏 If God did not destroy the wicked and instead let them remain, then all mankind would still not enter into rest; and God cannot bring all mankind to a better kingdom. 🙏 This type of work is never completely finished. When He FINISHES His WORK, ALL HUMANITY will be COMPLETELY HOLY. Only in this WAY can GOD LIVE SAFELY in REST. 🌷 People today cannot be separated from the things of the flesh; they cannot leave the pleasures of the flesh, nor can they leave the world, money, or their evil disposition. 😪 Most people continue their efforts in a disinterested way. In fact, God is not really in the hearts of these people; moreover, they do not fear God. God is not in their heart, so they cannot understand all that God does, and even more cannot believe the words that He speaks from His mouth. 🙏 From "The WORD Appears in the Flesh". holy book Fulfilled in "In the beginning He was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). ... and "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, lamentations, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13). The kingdom He brought down and set up in the highest in the sky so that it can occupy His creation in the universe and engrave on it the entirety of His Holy name "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐 fulfillment of (Mat. 16:18) "And I say as for you, you are Peter, on top of this rock I will build my Church, that even the power of death will not prevail over it.". ... and "The Letter to the Church in Philadelphia" (Rev. 3:7-13). ... And fulfillment of "The New Jerusalem" 💫 "The Spirit enveloped me, and the angel led me to the top of a very high mountain. He showed Me Jerusalem, the Holy City, coming down from heaven from God." (Rev. 3:7-13). ... " For the time has come in the house of God for the beginning of judgment in the house of God."

A young mentally challenged man from our church in NL left his Sunday school seat shortly before the classes began and walked to the platform . He picked up a guitar which one of the musicians had left there from the morning service. Many people that the guitar would get dropped and broken and held their breath and waited. The young man took the guitar , strap around his neck, took the pic and began perfectly playing and singing " turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderfu face". Needless to say, he made quite an impression to many that day,and I will never again hear it sung with such simplicity, honesty and perfection.

I'm an Indian citizen but from Japan basically. I'm 44 now, but many missionaries from America came over to teach us English. And one of my favourite teachers taught me this song, 'Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus'. In the chaotic life in India, this song always brings me great comfort.

[@janeo.7313]

As an elementary age child in the 60s, we often sang this chorus in Children’s Church. But one time as I was mindlessly singing, my eyes fell on a picture of Jesus in the room. Suddenly, I realized that like the song I had “turned my eyes upon Jesus.” But then something miraculous happened; the sounds of other singers did indeed “grow strangely dim” and for the first time I was strongly aware of His very real Presence! I knew then that I wanted to serve Him and devote myself completely to Him for the rest of my life! I am now almost 69 years old and that Presence is more real and alive than I could have imagined then!

I couldn’t agree with you more!! I personally think it’s a trick of the devil to erase memory of these beautiful expressions of solid theology. And what have they been replaced with?

[@justinesneddongutierrez5243]

The first sign of a problem/error in your church is when the leaders allow the music to become “modern” as that music is more man-centered and uses a back-beat. Satanic music seems progressive or modern but it’s deceptive because its goal is to feed your flesh.

[@gordoncrawley5826]

Why are these hymns being forgotten? Because Satan convinced people that Contemporary Christian Music, was better, and would bring people into the church, which means more money in the offering plate. Rock and Roll was a powerful force in the shaping of our modern culture away from the godly society we had. Now it is in the church, doing the same thing. The music style of the world brought the tares into the church and the hymnals were taken out. So much God glorifying music was set aside along with biblical teaching. It is not that CCM is not good to listen to, that is the problem. People are falling in love with the music, more than loving the Lord himself, all the while thinking they are giving him proper praise.

I began piano lessons when I was 4 years old, played piano for my first wedding at age 12, and filled in at my church when the pianist was absent. At age 15(1965), during the night, I suddenly woke and felt God impress upon me that I must sing too. I woke my mother and she said, “Then do what God has laid on your heart”. I searched through dozens of hymnals I could find and felt this song was the one I must sing(I had never heard it before.) Before I graduated from high school, an album had been made and a weekly TV program was filmed. One of my degrees is in vocal performance and I continued to record, not for sale, but give away tapes & CD’s. God has opened doors all over the USA and Brazil to sing for His glory and share my testimony of surviving two cancers and His grace through it. Now, at 73, I have learned the inspiration behind this song(thanks to you) and the similarities of the writer’s and my spiritual and musical journeys. God knew the similarities of Helen Lemmel and my stories and why it must be the first song I publicly sang! PRAISE BE TO GOD!

I was born again in 1971 and this hymn is so connected to that time. I sing it many times and it always takes me to that precious time I accepted Jesus as my Saviour. ❤

[@heart_towards_home]

That's beautiful! I have many memories of this song as well..especially as a child. It was an easy song in our hymnbook so it was one of the first hymns I learned to play on the piano. 😊

[@marynitaphillips9314]

I remember this song, but just the chorus, from my youth. When my elderly uncle was ill, I called him and sang this chorus to him. He kept me singing it over the phone, again and again, for about an hour, saying 'Again', every time I thought I would finish. Wonderful words to dwell on when you're facing a crisis.

[@jerryumfress9030]

I'm 71, and I first heard this song when I was about 8. My mom played organ in our church and she loved that song. It is beautiful

[@merrillcoffer412]

In the 70s my grandmother was an ordained minister and had a little church. My family would go every Sunday. The music director would have this song in the regular lineup. I was 6-7 years old. Something in the worship at that time was so filled with the presence of God. I felt as if I was actually looking at Jesus wonderful face. This was a part of the foundation that has lasted me a lifetime and gotten me through so many struggles. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil 4:13

Thank you for sharing. I was rehearsing that song about 4 yrs ago. I was in my living room and God revealed himself to me. I wept like a baby. It was the most wonderful experience of my life I will never forget it 😭🙏🙏🙏

[@WifeofGarth]

After a home invasion by balaclava-wearing men armed with guns and knives - and a miraculous Godly escape from what was intended to leave us as corpses - the chorus of this song played over and over in my head, day and night, for months ... and complete healing and peace filled our lives. Even today, whenever I feel a hint of anxiety, I remember the power of God's presence and I sing this chorus. Thank you Jesus!

I learned the chorus as a child about 5 decades ago. It wasn't until 3 months ago that I heard the entire song. Listening to the song, Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus helped me through a time of intense sorrow. With a heart full of gratitude, I am thankful to our Loving Savior Jesus who led me through a journey of healing.

[@betsyridgway9768]

(10:55am) Loved the story of the author of one of my favorite hymns! As a child, I remember singing from the church hymnal sitting with my family in our little in Redondo Beach, CA. At age 15, I started singing in the choir for the next 20 years. Hearing this song takes me back to wonderful memories. At age 71, I still love this beautiful song of our Lord and Savior, Jesus! Having experienced many trials, by turning my eyes to my beloved’s face, I would find comfort and strength!🙏✝️

[@beverlyadcock3841]

This is such beautiful hymn. I would sing this often in the 1960s. Sadly, in 2023, a few churches use hymnal in worship!

I was raised in a non-denominational church. We sang all the old hymns. I’m 66 and this is one of the songs I sing when all the evil things in this world gets to me. We always sang the verses. I remember most of the words. The verses are profound and comforting! Thank you!

We sang this hymn and Blessed Assurance at my dear Mother’s funeral in 2015. Pure Salvation hymn because Salvation is a Person, and that Person is Jesus Christ.

Amen dear Saint!

[@tocalvary9457]

This is my most favourite hymn of all time. When I was in the dark valley and despondent with life, God enabled me to memorize the song to keep my eyes on my Saviour, my Lord Jesus so I could carry on and not give up.

🍃(2) THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world" "God and Man Enter into Rest Together". ... (The approaching end of all things indicates the end of God's work and indicates the end of human development. Adam and Eve in the beginning did not do evil, but Adam and Eve who were cast out from the Garden of Eden made evil by Satan. When God and Man enter into rest together, Adam and Eve--who were cast out of the Garden of Eden--and their descendants will come to an end.; mankind, of the future will still consist of the descendants of Adam and Eve, but they will not be people who live under Satan's control. Instead, they will be people who have been saved and purified. This will be a humanity that has been judged and chastened, and one who is holy. Only this group of people will enter into the final rest with God. The essence of God's work of chastisement and judgment is to purify mankind, and it is for the day of the final rest. This phase of His work is His most--delicate work. This is the last stage of the totality of His rule. When He finishes His work, all mankind will be completely holy.) Almighty God said These are what is NECESSARY for GOD and MAN to enter REST. The APPROACHING END of ALL THINGS SIGNIFIES the END of GOD'S WORK and SIGNIFIES the END of HUMANITY'S PROGRESS. ☀️ This MEANS that HUMANITY made EVIL by SATAN has REACHED the END of PROGRESS, and that the DESCENDANTS of ADAM and EVE are MULTIPLYING their ENDS, and this also MEANS that it is IMPOSSIBLE for such HUMANITY, that SATAN has ALREADY made EVIL, to CONTINUE to PROGRESS. ☀️ ADAM and EVE in the BEGINNING were NOT made EVIL, BUT ADAM and EVE who were THROWN OUT of the GARDEN of EDEN were made EVIL by SATAN. When GOD and MAN ENTER TOGETHER into REST, ADAM and EVE---who were DRIVEN out of the GARDEN of EDEN---and their DESCENDANTS will COME to an END; the HUMANITY of the FUTURE will STILL be MADE UP of the DESCENDANTS of ADAM and EVE, BUT they are NOT people who LIVE under the COVERAGE of SATAN. ☀️ INSTEAD, they are PEOPLE who are SAVED and PURIFIED. This WILL BE a HUMANITY JUDGED and PUNISHED, and ONE who is HOLY. 🙏☀️ These people are not like humanity in its originality; one could say that these are a completely different type of people from the original Adam and Eve. ☀️ These PEOPLE were CHOSEN from ALL the PEOPLE made EVIL by SATAN, and THEY were the PEOPLE who LAST STAND STAND during the TIME of GOD'S JUDGMENT and PUNISHMENT; THEY are the LAST REMAINING GROUP of PEOPLE in the MIDST of EVIL MANKIND. Only this GROUP of PEOPLE will ENTER the FINAL REST with GOD. 🙏💐 The PEOPLE who will STAND STANDING during GOD'S WORK of JUDGMENT and PUNISHMENT in the LAST DAYS-----that is, DURING the FINAL WORK of CLEANSING----are PEOPLE who will ENTER the FINAL REST with GOD; therefore, PEOPLE ENTERING REST are ALL who LOST the INFLUENCE of SATAN and GAINED by GOD just AFTER UNDERGOING His FINAL WORK of CLEANSING. ☀️🙏 These PEOPLE who HAVE been COMPLETELY OBTAINED by GOD will ENTER the FINAL REST. 🙏💐 The ESSENCE of GOD'S WORK of PUNISHMENT and JUDGMENT is to CLEANSE HUMANITY, and it is for the DAY of the LAST REST. ☀️ Otherwise, all mankind will not be able to follow their own kind or enter into rest.

They will NOT EXIST in the FUTURE WORLD, and they will NOT EXIST among HUMAN RACES in the FUTURE.☀️ ANYONE and ALL who DO EVIL and ANYONE and ALL who are NOT SAVED will be DESTROYED when the HOLY in the MIDST of HUMANITY ENTERS REST; NO MATTER whether they are spirits of the dead or those still alive in the flesh. Regardless of whether the time includes spirits who do evil and people who do evil, or spirits of righteous people and people who do righteousness, anyone who does evil will be destroyed, and any person who is righteous will live. ☀️ Even a person or spirit who receives salvation is not entirely decided based on the work of the end times, but rather is determined based on whether they have fought or disobeyed God.

[@staynalive660]

We sang this as a chorus many times years ago but I never knew there were verses. I love this song. Living in our chaotic and upside down world today, it’s even more important that we “turn our eyes upon Jesus!” That’s where the peace is, being in His presence.

[@teresa4786]

You sang this and played so beautifully and heartfelt. I lost my 35 yr old son a year ago and it has been the most painful time of my life. He loved all these sacred songs and played his guitar and sang to Jesus every Sunday for years. At his funeral so many people said when they were down and out, they always knew he had a listening tender heart. He told them how much God loves them. I didn’t know he had touched so many people that way! I’d tell him, you like to go fishing a lot but you should be a fisher of men’s souls! Well little did I know, he did just that all along! That has been a comfort to me even though it has been so painful not to talk or laugh to him, sing with him or hug him. It’s been so hard on all the family. He was like a light when he walked into the room. Sorry to ramble but I thank you. 🙏🏼

[@cindi7955]

You did not ramble on you are sharing your heart and your love for your son and it touched me deeply. Your son left behind a wonderful testimony and touched so many lives. May the Lord comfort You as only He can and thank you for sharing your son with us. Much love.

[@ab-gg8md]

May the Lord wrap His arms of love around you. So sorry for the loss of your precious son.

[@rebeccaullbricht7452]

May the Lord truly continue to comfort and wrap you in His loving arms. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. He alone is able to apply the balm of Gilead to your broken heart.

[@lorettaj6995]

So sorry for your loss of your Son. Prayers for you and your family. 🙏

I learnt this song 46 years ago, during my school days at Chapel and bible study. It's refreshing to know that this song is still being recognised and sung. Thank you for sharing this. Blessed be.

God says, 'If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves&pray&seek My face&turn from their wicked ways,then I will hear from heaven&will forgive their sin&heal their land'. [2 Chronicles 7:14] Be that person to bring God's healing down to Burma. You can make a difference. God healed Malaysia. Thank you, Lord, Creator of Heaven & Earth!

[@Wayne-xy6yw]

Over 30 years ago I suffered work burnout which was so bad it felt like I was losing my mind and the only anchor that brought stability and peace were the words of this song "turn your eyes upon Jesus". So yes I can confirm it was the Holy Spirit who inspired them to be written as it was he who brought them to my memory in my darkest affliction. Today I have no ill effects from that horrendous experience having been restored to a sound mind and full health by Gods grace.

[@nathan1sixteen]

It’s such a shame that rich hymns like this don’t get sung in so many churches anymore today

[@bijienose]

True

[@chelle8819]

This is my theme song. I turn to it regularly to focus my heart and mind exactly where it belongs - on Jesus.

[@margaretbabcock4115]

It is no accident that I started listening to this. I really needed to hear this and to be reminded to keep my eyes on Jesus. I have a 55 year old daughter who had a stroke in February and is paralyzed on right side and can't talk very much. So many difficult things have happened but I know God isbin control Praise His Holy Name

It is a great hymn. Takes me to the phrase in Hebrews. Constantly reminding me to ‘fix my eyes on Jesus’ everything eventually falls into place as we look to Him. We cannot fix them anywhere else Everything else everyone else no matter how good does not compare with Jesus. Thank you we cannot go too far or astray if we have our eyes fixed on Him

[@norichesney]

Thank you so very much for sharing this. I heard this song for the first time when I was 17 years old. I never went to church until one day i was required to go to a service for school. This song described exactly as I felt at that moment - "weary and troubled with no light in my darkness." This song helped me find my way to the Light of the World, Jesus the Saviour.

[@helenstrange2482]

An old favourite of mine - simple words to convey Gods power in my life. Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of my life! Amen brother.

[@davedennis6042]

I am the song leader in our little church at Reform Church of GOD (Holiness). My model is to sing 2 songs with up beat music and one of a calmer tempo. This song is the choice many times. In a day when we are given so much information and being aware of the terrible things that happen around us, we need more and more to follow the advise of this song. Great story and beautiful hymn.

[@twoeagles19]

ThX Bro. Jesus appeared to me in April of 1979 He said "Keep Your eyes upon me always Steven and don't take them off." When I was Born Again Jan. 1st 1979 9:00 p.m. in a bedroom in Bell Gardens California I heard The Father say Go into all the World and preach my Gospel." Yes Sir I said. So You can see how much this song meant to me , I didn't remember all the lyrics , ThX for bringing them out. Zephaniah 3:17 2Corinthians13:14

Brought up singing this song in it's entirety and many other beloved hymns in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. What a rich gospel legacy. Christian hymns provide. This is a favorite. The words are especially true today.

I'm hopeless with memorising but strangely the chorus of this hymn is etched on my heart. Oh Father thank you for inspiring the compilation of what we now know as the Bible, itself a witness to Jesus the WORD OF GOD made flesh. So as we focus on Him we already begin to experience the Kingdom of God everlasting.❤

[@patriciacole8773]

Remember the fourth commandment KJV is reminding us of Genesis 2:2&3

[@tanyadixon3479]

...."there's light for a look at the Savior,...". I love this part of the song. No matter how much darkness you may be surrounded by, there will always be enough light to see Jesus. This song is one of my favorites, and very encouraging. Thanks, Ms. Lemmel.❤

[@evelynmariayeshua]

How very wonderful… the family name is Jewish; Lemmel means ‘endearing Yiddish for Lamb’. To turn and look into the Face (Panim in Hebrew) of Jesus is to see The Light, and that Light shines upon you, as you gaze upon Him. There is no shadow of turning in Him 👑 or His Father. We bless You Lord God Almighty for making Yourself known to us through Your Son Jesus.. The Lamb of God 💫

[@margaretpoole5624]

When I was a teenager I always went to the Friday night vespers sponsored by the Seventh-Day Adventist school I attended. We always sang “Turns Your Eyes Upon Jesus”, at the close of the service. I love the story of this beautiful tender song. Miss Helen has no idea how she has inspired millions of people through her songs and life witness.

I just came across your video for the first time. This song brought tears to my eyes. I’m so grateful that the Lord in His loving kindness, mercy, and grace, which brought me from false religion to his wonderful grace. I’ve known the Lord since around 7 years old, but fell away for many years, but God never loses his children. He brought me back in 2014. I’m so grateful for all he has forgiven me for, and all he does now, and all he promises soon to come. Our faith is a gift from our dear LORD. The one forgiven much loves much. ❤ Thank you Jesus ❤

[@ceciliasaayman6244]

We sang this when I was a child. I'm 81 now. Living in South Africa. I sing it in my mother tongue.....AFRIKAANS. Always thought it was just a little chorus made up by somebody local. First time I hear of other versus. I still sing it.

[@assievanderwesthuizen6314]

Thank you Luke, for a blissful few minutes. In response to your invitation: I was born in 1942, growing up in the largest Pentecostal church in South Africa. In my childhood and early teens, we had the habit of spending some evenings by slowly travelling on an open truck through the streets, and accompanied by portable instruments, we sang Christmas and other spiritual songs/hymns (here in the Southern hemisphere, of course December evenings are blessed with nice warm weather). During one such event my one elder brother led the singing, and the chorus of "Turn your eyes upon Jesus" featured strongly, and reminiscing on that night I can still recall his voice. It's been many years since he was transferred to Heaven's choir, but your programme tonight blessed me immeasurably - thank you. Dr Assie Van der Westhuizen, Alexander Bay, South Africa.

It made me appreciate & love this song even more! When he said beautiful Helen said the song was directed by the Holy Spirit; I cried!! I feel it, that is the absolute truth. It's just more abd more proof tgat Jesus's love offers a life more abundant and free. Amen and Hallelujah!!❤❤

[@faithlee5035]

Yes. This song was the second worship song that I learnt in 2014 when Lord found me! Until now, I still sing each time my soul is downcast and I misses Lord and and longs for Lord ! And until today, each time I sing, I will cry especially when it comes to the verse ‘turn your eyes upon Jesus and look at His wonderful face’ You know it is like the deepest core of my heart and my soul needs Him and wants Him at that moment knowing that Lord is always with me to the end of the age! Praise God. All my cares, all my sorrows, all my pains, He knows and I just cry and sing to Him and He knows! How long, O Lord, how long !? While doing that, each time I have His peace that is unexplainable that fills me heart! Praise Jesus. Soli Deo Gloria.

It was on December 10, 1965 that I was invited to Evangel Temple in Toronto. Hearing Pastor Hope Smith sing the chorus of this song as the young adults knelt by their chairs in prayer, "the things of earth" did indeed "grow strangely dim" for me as the presence of the Lord knocked on my heart's door. I'm so glad I opened it to Him that night.

[@ytoal]

Really like the back story, all praise to Yeshua! For HIS grace mercy if we have faith!

[@jorobbie171]

"And the things of earth will grow strangely dim", is the lyric that helps me take my eyes off the physical problem focus towards the spiritual. A sweet calm sweeps over my mind, and my breathing calms down and I feel a joy rise in me. I heard this song when hymnals were used in church. This is over 30 years ago. Thanks for the history of the song, and your lovely rendition. God bless you.
