Turning, Turning Our whole planet Always turning Night to day Day to night Light to dark Darkness to light Always on the move
Even this our very selves As on this moving world Constantly do we dwell Each an eternal spirit Moving, turning through Each day To the left or To the right Toward the dark or To the light
Turning to God’s perfect love To fill your spirit from above Or To the darkened concept Of the narcissistic self One leads to destructive death The other to an incomprehensible Wealth These two sides to life We seem to have been dealt
But the choice is yours Turning to one side or The other To destroy or to lift up Your sisters, your brothers So that as through our lives We’re turning along Only to one of these May you ultimately belong
You've burnt me With your fire, God Your nevers Never will I leave you Never will I forsake you And Greatest among Your truths Never do You change
Reaching fiery fingers Into my almost empty shell Feeling of little worth to tell You energized my heart At first, Only a smallest flame To start
That almost obliterated light My innermost soul Satan's long fingers so dark & cold Fought to destroy Even from my very first days Those days of long ago
But your Spirit's fiery love Brought a powerful new light On wings of your peace-filled dove Carrying a power eternal Also to one so frail, Your might
And as I stand today filled Trying to carry your beauty's will That satan will be defeated As Your love within our hearts We're keeping All the pains, the sorrows, All the weepings Your Spirit's fire at last will thrust Deep into hell’s darkness Blissfully, Eternally away from us!!!
You hold the planets Into place The heartbeats of every nation Living at your feet Working calmly, deliberately All while seated upon One royal seat Eternal, perfect love's Royal throne room
700, 800, 900 feet tall angels Dance in ecstasy Not out of duty But because They're overwhelmed From the sight of Your power, might Your glory's beauty
I sigh Someday, If I stay loyally in love Obedient I too Will be allowed To dance Totally entranced As angels' wings Brush by my face Of Eternity's Purest Joy Will I taste Just to watch You smile!!
One Man Everything Hinges, rotates Around One Man Air, earth, Rock, water Sand Microbe, flea Dolphin, elephant Every atom, Every molecule Of every element
Nothing escapes His attention From His notice There is no abstention! But Who would want that? In His Presence is Love joy, peace, Goodness, kindness He hopes eternally Toward this His world More and more would Progress!!
As Christ holds out Nail-scarred hands Toward His pain-free Glory Land Won't you join in Bring others with you Come live in infinity with God's only Son of Man!!!
