Turn Your Eyes

A Beautiful arrangment based on Turn your eyes upon Jesus by Helen H. Lemmel, with new verses and a whole new chorus.

This is one story about how it has been used.

"Tuesday afternoon, I came home from an appointment with a retinal specialist. I learned that nothing can be done about returning my central vision in my right eye, and that eventually, I will go blind in the left eye as well. I was very upset, as you could imagine. A woman in a prayer group I am in posted this song, having no idea what was happening to me. I have always loved this old song, and got goosebumps every time I sang it in the church choir. This time, it went straight to my heart. I started to cry as I listened, but soon, my tears dried and I began to smile because I know Jesus will take care of me, and that is why he put it in the old woman's head to post it on the day I needed it most. I regret that I won't be able to see my Granddaughter face, as show grows and matures into the beautiful woman she is destined to be. And I will miss being able to use social media. I was going to say I will miss reading my Bible, but there are several audio versions. So, it is what it is. I'm not going to waste valuable time crying about it. I'm just going to focus on faces now to memorize every freckle and dimple, and how her hair glistens in the sun. Then, when everything dims and I can't see my precious family, I will see them in my mind's eye, instead of the ones on my face." Kim G, Nov 2021.
