Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
Words & Music:
Lemmell/ ClarkeHmmm.....
And all the world go free
Now there's a cross for everyone
And there's a cross for me
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
(where are the words) wonder proclaim
And the paint upon the wall
Will go straight ??
In the light of his wonderful face Recorded:
1972/03/31, first released on
Amazing GraceReactions
Just beautiful. Wish there had been a proper recording made of this one.
It's a pity that Elvis didn't do this one properly. It just sounds beautiful.
Some original words:
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.
But I think Elvis sings "His wonderful face" in the last line!
