lyrics

Turn Your Back

Well I can see you’re lonely, but you don’t have to cry
God can create something that will never die
Jesus sees your secrets every single plan
Got to put your past behind
Need to be a new man

(He said) Turn your back on it all - oh, oh, oh
Take His hand don’t you fall
Turn your back on it all, Oh, oh, oh

Now who’d you think you’re fooling
Fighting for your pride
God can fill that emptiness you hide inside
He’s the one solution, He’s the only way
What’s so great you’re holding on to anyway

(He said) Turn your back on it all - oh, oh, oh
Take His hand don’t you fall
Turn your back on it all, Oh, oh, oh

Now, all part of the written plan,
God’s already made His stand for the simple man
Give your heart and you’ll understand
God’s already raised His hands for the crowning of a simple man
Crowning of a Simple, Crowning of a Simple Man

(He said) Turn your back on it all - oh, oh, oh
Take His hand don’t you fall
Turn your back on it all, Oh, oh, oh

Now I can see you’re lonely, but you don’t have to cry
God can create something that will never die
Jesus sees your secrets every single plan
Got to put your past behind
Need to be a new man

(Coz He said) Turn your back on it all - oh, oh, oh
Take His hand don’t you fall
Turn your back on it all, Oh, oh, oh

Between The Glory & The Flame
by Randy Stonehill

supported by 9 fans who also own “Turn Your Back”

This album is all about the human condition and our very human, fallible relationship with the world around us, as well as our ever so tense imperfect relationship with a God who the world has turned into a politicized parody of himself. "We are madmen and we are children with a lesson to be learned/we are sitting in the ashes of the bridges we have burned/we are hoping and we are praying, we are holding to the claim that he's coming back to meet us between the glory and the flame" sums it up falling_stars

Find Me In These Fields [remastered & re-imagined]
by Phil Keaggy - Deluxe Studio vocal albums

supported by 8 fans who also own “Turn Your Back”

"Find Me in These Fields" was one of Phil's releases where I sensed he was free to be himself, and that came on strong in every tune. As a guitar player I was inspired, and as a father with a young son "Gentle & Strong" tugged every heart string. Jon Stout
