Lyrics
Verse 1
Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace.
Chorus
Jesus, to you we lift our eyes, Jesus, our glory and our prize. We adore you, behold you, our Savior ever true. Oh Jesus, we turn our eyes to you.
Verse 2
Turn your eyes to the hillside where justice and mercy embrace. There the Son of God gave his life for us, and our measureless debt was erased.
Verse 3
Turn your eyes to the morning and see Christ the lion awake. What a glorious dawn: fear of death is gone, for we carry his life in our veins.
Verse 4
Turn your eyes to the heavens, our King will return for his own. Ev'ry knee will bow, ev'ry tongue will shout, "All the glory to Jesus alone!"
