1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s a light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!
Refrain
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.
Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conquerors we are!
Refrain
His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!
RefrainVisit Sheryl for an opportunity to have some uplifting words to carry you through the weekend.
Blessings,
Julie

Beautiful! What a lovely way to enter the weekend!
Thanks for sharing this.
So much great truth here. Our church is going through a 40 day fast of a sorts. Anyway, about 1 week into I was just sitting for a minute in the sanctuary while my son was in another room practicing music, and I was "thinking to the Lord" and my thought was "Lord, may we be a congragation of overcomers, may we learn to behold You, may we ever, ever behold You." I've been thinking since then, that when we are able to do that, everything else has a way of taking care of itself. You know?
I just want to behold Him.
Love, love that scripture and love that song. What a blessing. Thank you for that today...needed it!
