“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.”
They call that song an old favorite for a reason.
Look upon Him, and your eyes will be lifted up. Lifted up past the hurt of this world. Lifted up past the failures of your life. Lifted to a higher vision for what you can become.
I realized this again last Sunday as our worship team offered a simple, acoustic arrangement of the Miley Cyrus song “When I Look At You” (yes Miley’s music made it into our church). Lisa Reid, a singer on our worship team knocked it out of the park. She was kind enough to send me a recording this morning.
We don’t have the professional, studio quality music of a lot of larger churches, but this was so good I had to share it. Click the link below. Take a listen. Look at Him, and find a bigger vision of life and who you can become.
