Join us this week as we explore the simple yet transformative hymn "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus," composed by the remarkable Helen Lemmel. We dive into her inspiring journey through music and faith, revealing how the hymn was influenced by a simple yet powerful pamphlet challenging believers to focus on Christ, not the distractions of life. This episode details the hymn’s profound messages found in deep biblical truths.
Together, we unpack the lyrics and their meanings while drawing connections to scripture in both the Old and New Testaments, reminding us that our faith in Jesus illuminates our path. Not only does this hymn provide comfort and illumination, but it also calls us to action—to share the good news of salvation with a world in need.
By turning your gaze upon Jesus, you can find renewed purpose and peace. Be sure to subscribe to our podcast and share this episode with friends who may be seeking hope and encouragement. Together, let’s share the light of Christ with others!
