A Thesaurus and a Hymn: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus


Turn
Change course, about-face, shift
Your eyes
Your vision, perception, sight
Upon Jesus,
Upon the Savior, the Creator, the Son of the Most High
Look full
Look completely, entirely, in every respect
In His wonderful face,
In His glorious, magnificent, brilliant face
And the things of earth
And the physical, temporal, corporeal things
Will grow strangely dim,
Will grow perplexingly weak, mysteriously muted, inexplicably faint
In the light of
In the illumination, blaze, radiance of
His glory
His splendor, beauty, magnificence
And grace.
And kindness, favor, acceptance

2 Corinthians 4:18
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
