"The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know Your name will trust in You, for You, LORD have never forsaken those who seek You." Psalm 9: 9,10

Turn Your Eyes To Jesus

When our minds are weighed down
and relief seems nowhere in sight,
turn your eyes to Jesus, our protector,
our refuge, our shining great Light.
Just call Him by name for He's always the same,
This evil world and all it contains,
only He can make to feel their shame.
Seek His grace, He will never forsake you,
He wait's with open arms your spirit to renew.

I encourage you, just turn your eyes to Jesus - as the song says, then things of this world will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.
