I love this song...the video was beautiful...Alan Jackson's version is my FIL's favorite....
I saw this last week, too, Cathy, but I could listen to it every day. Alan sings it beautifully and from the heart.

Blessings Cathy...What a beautiful rendition of "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" and a great reminder for us all...no matter what our situation.
Forgive me but I did not know Alan Jackson...so I checked out his website:

and I should have guessed that he was country western but nonetheless sang this with just beauty, respect & grace. Totally awesome voice & tone & pace. Thank you for sharing this...the video was beautiful!
EnJOY TSMSS, be blessed as you bless and have a wonderful weekend!
This song was always sung right before the first morning service began in the church I attended, like 15 years ago. This choice of yours today brought me back memories when life was simple and peaceful. Thanks.
I love Alan Jackson! What a great way of singing he's been gifted with. Thanks Cathy for sharing this one with us today. Happy TSMSS to you!

Another one of my favorite hynms :)! Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith!
May we ever and always keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. The author and finisher of our walk.

It's a pretty song--one which we've sung often in church. I hope that you have a happy Sunday, Cathy.
Great song! We don't sing this at our church very often. I wish we did.
A song to live by.
I've loved this song ever since the first time I heard it many years ago. I still can't sing it or listen to it without "choking up". This is a beautiful version of it. Thank you for posting it.
Blessings,

When I was young, my sister and sister-in-law and I sang as a trio. This song was one that we sang and loved. It has a wonderful message.
Wonderful song!
Have a great week Cathy.
