Turn Us About

Words and Music by Laura Larkins

The dance of destructive conflict
Brings me to my knees
We’re caught up in the fight
Deciding whose left by who is right.

When push comes to shove
Well, there’s no other way
We appeal to your wisdom
 We appeal to your grace!

Turn us about, Lord

Teach us Greek!
And teach us grace!
Oh, Come Holy Spirit,

We wanna find your face.
You know our struggle here
Our pride and our fears

 Well, Jesus entered our world
And he shed our same tears
So we welcome you, God,
We welcome you here.

Turn Us About Lord!

Even when I’m strong,
I’m single-mindedly small.
Forgetting who you are
My goodness kicks the wall.

But you are all wise
Powerful and kind
Creating every detail
With purposes in mind.

Turn us about Lord!
Help us trust your Spirit’s care.
Show us how we move in
Move us into prayer.

Not by might nor power
But by the Lord of Hosts
Evil takes a shower
And in your strength we boast!

Turn us about Lord…
Turn us about Lord…
Turn us about Lord…
Turn us about Lord…
