As the World Turns

Turning, turning

For grace I am yearning

For my heart and yours to agree

Turning, turning

My heart is learning

Repentance is setting me free.

As the world turns, I will turn too
When it turns away, Lord I’ll turn to you
When the world turns away
Or stops turning some day
I will go on with you

So I’ll reckon what’s right

And I’ll walk in the light

And deliverance from darkness I find

For as sure as I live

God will surely forgive

Once the gift of repentance is mine

Bridge

If my sins I would just confess

Forgiveness will be my reward

For it delights God’s heart to bless

When our hearts are in one accord

The penitent soul

That comes under control

Of the consoling Spirit of Grace

Will give praise and arise

There’ll be no compromise

For our author will finish our Faith

As the world turns, I will turn too
When it turns away, Lord I’ll turn to you
When the world turns away
Or stops turning some day
I will go on with you
