Coming soon to a couch near you! We’ve been booking some intimate home shows in the Portland area this summer and are looking for some more homes to invade. So if you would like to host an Acoustic Living Room Concert please let us know!
Turn Your Eyes (Official Music Video)
This is the Official Music Video” for my “revived” version of the classic hymn, “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.” I altered the melody and chorus and added a bridge; while keeping the lyrics in the verses the same. I am joined on this song by the musical talents of Nick Garrett-Powell who recorded and produced the track as well as singing the amazing harmony parts. On drums with the smooth brush work is the fantastic G.T. Albright and on stand-up bass is John Lingafelter rounding out the little jazz quartet.
This song is the first single from my next CD, “White”, and will also be featured on my hymns project out later titled “Hymnody”. It is available for download on Amazon, CD Baby, iTunes, etc. You can find out more in my discography section here: Turn Your Eyes – Single

Lyrics
Turn Your Eyes
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s a light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Turn your eyes upon Him
And all the things of this earth
They will grow strangely dim
Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conquerors we are!
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Turn your eyes upon Him
And all the things of this earth
They will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
Won’t you turn and look full in His wonderful face
His Word shall not fail you—No, He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!
For his mercy, turn your eyes upon him, turn your eyes upon Jesus
For salvation, turn your eyes upon him, turn your eyes upon Jesus
For his grace, turn your eyes upon him, turn your eyes upon Jesus
Oh and look, won’t you turn and look full in his wonderful face
Turn and look, won’t you look full in his wonderful face
Based on the traditional hymn. Lyric changes and arrangement by Dawson Cowals.
