  • Coming soon to a couch near you! We’ve been booking some intimate home shows in the Portland area this summer and are looking for some more homes to invade. So if you would like to host an Acoustic Living Room Concert please let us know!

  • “Cowals’ tunes are full and captivating whether he is playing solo acoustic guitar or accompanied by a handful of other talented musicians. The multi-talented artist’s flute work and lackadaisical vocal octave jumps throughout certain songs also give these Biblical verse driven tunes a Dave Matthews feel.” —Kelly O’Neil

Details

A new arrangement of the classic hymn, “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus,” with a twist of smooth jazz and a dash of Dawson’s signature acoustic guitar style, featuring haunting harmonies and mellow upright bass. I was joined on this song by the brush work of G.T. Albright on drums, soaring harmonies of Nick Garrett-Powell, and outstanding upright bass work of John Lingafelter. This is the first of many “revived” hymns I have been working on and hope to be able to release in a collection someday. This song will also be featured on my next full-length release, “White”, scheduled to be finished in 2013. We hope this song brings you peace and helps you enter in before his throne of grace!

Lyrics

Turn Your Eyes

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
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Turn your eyes upon Him
And all the things of this earth
They will grow strangely dim

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
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Turn your eyes upon Him
And all the things of this earth
They will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
Won’t you turn and look full in His wonderful face

His Word shall not fail you—No, He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

For his mercy, turn your eyes upon him, turn your eyes upon Jesus
For salvation, turn your eyes upon him, turn your eyes upon Jesus
For his grace, turn your eyes upon him, turn your eyes upon Jesus
Oh and look, won’t you turn and look full in his wonderful face
Turn and look, won’t you look full in his wonderful face

Based on the traditional hymn. Lyric changes and arrangement by Dawson Cowals.

For a limited time you can download my Easter EP "In Their Place" featuring 3 songs from my 2008 "Coffee Shop Songs" CD & 3 songs from the new CD "White" coming out later in 2014. These songs share the power of the cross, Jesus' death and resurrection, and his salvation and amazing grace. I am so thankful that Jesus now intercedes with the Father on our behalf, "When You look at them, see me in their place!"
