Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 (Childhood and teenage turn) I was just a boy when the stories filled my soul Jesus loves the little children, make the broken whole Sunday school and mama’s prayers, seeds in tender ground But the world came calling loud, and I turned around Teenage nights under streetlights, chasing shadows far from home Friends with easy promises, said I’d never be alone Left the light behind me, stepped into the dark unknown And I turned around Chorus Oh, I was lost on a one-way road Chasing highs that left me low But Your voice was whispering through the storm Gentle love that kept me warm You never let go, though I ran so far Calling my name like a guiding star In the wreckage, in the pain, You found me on the ground And You turned me around You turned me around Verse 2 (Downfall years) Pills and weed, empty bottles, years blurred into haze Sleeping on the sidewalks, lost in endless days Relationships in pieces, hearts I broke along the way Law came knocking heavy, chains to pay Homeless winters, hungry nights, screaming at the sky “Why’d You let me fall so low? Where were You, tell me why?” But in the silence, soft and sure, I’d feel You drawing nigh A gentle pull, a faithful cry Chorus Oh, I was lost on a one-way road Chasing highs that left me low But Your voice was whispering through the storm Gentle love that kept me warm You never let go, though I ran so far Calling my name like a guiding star In the wreckage, in the pain, You found me on the ground And You turned me around You turned me around Bridge (Turning point and redemption) One desperate morning, broken on my knees Echoes of the old hymns rising up in me “Jesus, if You’re real, come and set me free” And mercy met me right there, washed the old man clean Verse 3 (Restoration and calling) Now the chains are broken, feet on solid ground Preaching on the corners where I once was bound Sharing how the Savior chased me, never let me drown How grace reached down and turned my life around Final Chorus (Triumphant, with slight variation) Oh, I was lost but now I’m found Was blind but now I see the crown Your voice that whispered through the storm Brought this prodigal safely home You never let go, though I strayed so far Now I lift Your name, my guiding star From the darkness to the light, standing on this holy ground Lord, You turned me around You turned me around Forever turned around
