| Psalm 7:12–13 reminds us that the direction of the heart matters. When we resist God, we often sharpen what harms us—our fears, our pride, our old patterns. But when we turn toward Him, we find mercy waiting, not judgment. The call to turn is not a threat; it is an invitation to life. God draws us away from what destroys and toward what restores. This poem is a reflection of that truth: that every moment is a chance to realign, to awaken, to step back into the light of the One who leads us toward life again. |
I’ve been running with the world in my ears,
chasing things that never bring me near.
But Your whisper cuts through every fear—
calling me to stop, and turn, and live again.
When I don’t turn, I sharpen what harms me,
holding things I never meant to carry.
But Your mercy breaks the cycle I choose,
pulling me back to the path that makes me new.
I’m turning now—turning now—
back to the heart of heaven.
I’m waking up, shaking off
everything I’ve been missing.
Your invitation calls me
still to step into Your light.
I’m turning now—turning now—
God, turn me toward Your life.
Every moment is a chance to begin,
to trade the weight of the world
for Your strength within.
You restore what I break again and again—
You’re the truth that brings me back to life again.
Not a threat, but grace that’s reaching,
love that lifts and keeps on teaching.
Every heartbeat, every season—
You’re the reason I can rise.
I’m returning, I’m believing;
You are life and You are leading.
Turn my wandering, turn my grieving—
turn me toward Your perfect life.
I’m turning now—turning now—
back to the heart of heaven.
I’m waking up, shaking off
everything I’ve been missing.
Your invitation calls me
still to step into Your light.
I’m turning now—turning now—
God, turn me toward Your life.
