Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus - Acoustic Live Cover
Музыка
It never ceases to amaze me how small and trifle my problems become when I quit focusing on them and instead fix my eyes upon Jesus. I recorded this song before class while I was in graduate school for my MBA. This hymn has been a huge encouragement to me the past few years and I thought I'd share it :)
My family is The Petersens and we play American roots music.

Lyrics:
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
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
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
His word shall not fail us, He promised
Believe Him and all will be well
Then go to a world that is dying
His perfect salvation to tell
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
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

It’s never to late to turn your eyes upon Jesus! Accept him today as your Lord and Savior!!!
It is so special that you kept singing for God, and staying close to your family, instead of choosing a solo career. It says a lot about your soul's maturity and beauty. God bless you, and thank you for sharing you. 💕
To God be all the glory! Well done young lady. Thank God we still have young people who are not ashamed to stand up for Jesus Christ! Hallelujah!
Thank you Lord for Ellen and all the Petersens!
How many hearts are you helping to heal and live on through all of this, thank you!
Ellen is great on the banjo and I dearly love to hear her sing. She has such a lovely voice and sings beautifully.
Thank you. 4 years ago I don't if you could have known how much this could mean to many of us during a pandemic. God is surely using it ways you may not have imagined now (in April 2020.)

Yes, never forget that she was against Emmett's arrival in the band, when Emmett has Writes a letter to have a Job she answered very rudely, she could have to say that the did not need a musician for the moment a Resting kind and polite, Emmett never wrote a song For her he is perhaps resentful? She should learn The Guitar the Banjo is a muddy instrument
As I listen to you sing about Jesus and I sing along with you it brings such Joy to my soul. The Holy Spirit is using you to bring Honor and glory to our Lord and Savior. You are such a light for Jesus. God has truly Blessed you with a voice and Spirit that are very special. Please more Songs about Jesus 😀
I absolutely love hymns! Especially when they are sung with instruments other than organ. Simply beautiful!! 💕
Trying to learn the banjo during the pandemic and found this inspiration in more ways than one. Thank you
Beautiful song, beautiful voice and beautiful young lady, thank you.
There's just something so wholesome about a beautiful girl with a banjo singing about Jesus, it comforts me seeing all these views

"...and the things of earth will go strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace" what a powerful message for the times we're living right now!
Absolutely beautiful and true. I have played banjo a long time but I have never heard it played as you do! So delicate, gentle, and just beautifully reverent
GOD bless your heart Ellen. You are a great singer.
Lovely song, sweet voice, thank you Ellen. May someone bring you fresh flowers today.
So glad you shared that Ellen, and that my mother sent me the link. Thank you. As I particularly treasure this hymn anyway, am also a banjo plucker, and one who loves the Lord and His gospel, what you did right there is deeply appreciated! The LORD bless and preserve you in His truth and grace.
Praise the Lord.
"Make a joyful sound unto the Lord," He said. Ellen: Here ya go.
Your heart is beautiful sister. It shows through your performance. Thank you. An honor to hear. Praise The Lamb!
Beautiful! so sweet!
Absolutely wonderful… Thank you….
Balm for the soul. Thank you.

Known to Him and singing for Him. You are blessing so many people with your beautiful voice and music. There must be no greater joy for the Lord to hear his children using their talent for His glory.
Between us and darkness. The cross of christ.
Thank you Ellen. A beautiful song to listen to on this Easter weekend and in these uncertain times. Eyes upon Jesus Always. God bless you and your family.
Always love to see talented youth actually doing God-honoring songs! Bravo! Very spiritual song and very fine rendition.
Refreshing and beautiful ♥️🕊♥️
Wow, absolutely beautiful, and a song for so many of us in these times. Thanks Ellen
Beautiful. Jesus with you🌿✝🌿

One thought about your KZread name: Forgiveness of our sins is just half of the gospel, the other half is the necessity of forsaking our sins by receiving the power of Christ through prayer and overcome the temptations we meet every day and thus Jesus will make our character more and more Christlike. This is the greatest way in which we can show love. Because every time we sin, we hurt Jesus tremendously. And we can claim God’s promise to us in the Bible: ” Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.” Jude 24.
Such a beautiful, talented girl.
Just Beautiful!
Thank you Ellen! Beautiful voice singing about our beautiful King Jesus!
Well done. That is nicely played and very nicely sung. It does my heart good to see younger people (I am an old geezer now) praising the Lord in song. I was younger when I came to know Jesus and Turn your Eyes Upon Jesus was one of the first songs I learned at that time. It also helps to turn me back to Him and away from the cares of this world. You keep doing what you are doing to serve Him and the Lord bless you!
Tomorrow we celebrate that Jesus gave his life on the cross for our sins.

One of my favorites. Brings tears of joy sometimes. Thank you for posting.
I sang this song many times at church but it sounds alot better when Ellen sings it.
It's always good to acknowledge just how small are our troubles compared with his vast power, love, and grace. Thank you for the reminder.

Beautiful singing and playing. Thanks for pointing us all to Jesus. We can cast all our cares upon Him (Jesus) for He cares for us. Looking to Jesus does make our problems look smaller.
