I'm Trying... (turn your eyes)

This is one of those days where I'm getting bombarded by the waves of emotion.

Where I feel as if I'm drowning.

I'm working on making it until the work day ends without crying. It's my major goal for the day.

When I get home tonight, to my empty house, I fully expect the tears to come.

I'm still haunted by this. It's stronger again today.

The sky is absolutely dumping snow.

I'm losing hope that winter will ever end. (in nature, or, more metaphorically, in me.)

I'm reminded of this hymn again. I'm weary and troubled, and light is nowhere to be seen.

(Turn Your Eyes and See His)

I'm trying to get there. Trying to trust that it's true.


O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s 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;
O’er us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conquerors we are!

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!
