Being that "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus" is also one of my favorites, I thought I might share this with you.... Helen Lemmel was already a noted Christian singer and voice teacher when a missionary friend of hers handed her a gospel tract titled "Focus". Helen wondered why someone was handing her a tract. The tract said if you focus on Jesus, if you look full into his face,"you will find the things of earth will acquire a strange new dimness." Those words had an impact on Helen Lemmel. "Suddenly," she said later, "as if commanded to stop and listen, I stood still, and singing in my soul and spirit was the chorus with not one conscious moment of putting word to word to make rhyme, or note to note to make melody." Later the same year the song was published,and soon it became a favorite of Christians in America, in England, and around the rest of the world. It's so easy to lose focus. Focus on Jesus, and the tawdrey things of this world will lose their glamour "in the light of His glory and grace." Helen Howarth Lemmel (1864-1961)
