Verse 1 The cheers have faded from the road Palm branches dry in the dust Yesterday’s hopes of a rising throne Still echo among the crowds and the stones But the King walks back through the city gates Eyes like fire, heart like rain Not for glory, not for gold— But to make the broken holy again Pre-Chorus Tables tremble, coins collide Mercy will not be denied Chorus Turn these hearts to houses of prayer Sweep the shadows from the air Let the fruit of mercy grow Where empty leaves once used to show Drive the noise and fear away Teach our wandering souls to stay Make us faithful, make us true Lord, bear Your living fruit in us anew Verse 2 A fig tree dressed in summer green Promised sweetness none could taste Leaves that danced in the morning wind But roots that gave the world no grace And the Teacher paused beside the road Where His quiet warning fell Faith is more than words we sing It’s the life our branches tell Pre-Chorus What we claim and what we are Cannot stay so far apart Chorus Turn these hearts to houses of prayer Sweep the shadows from the air Let the fruit of mercy grow Where empty leaves once used to show Drive the noise and fear away Teach our wandering souls to stay Make us faithful, make us true Lord, bear Your living fruit in us anew Bridge Break the idols from the floor Open wide the temple doors Let the humble enter in Let the healing now begin Where the restless merchants stood Plant the seeds of something good Let forgiveness take its place Let the world behold Your grace Not a kingdom built by might But hearts awakened to the light Final Chorus Turn these hearts to houses of prayer Let Your Spirit linger there Till compassion fills the room And barren branches start to bloom Drive the pride and fear away Teach our restless souls to stay Make us faithful, make us true Lord, bear Your living fruit in us Outro On this Monday in the dust of holy ground The King is turning lives around.
