Turn Around by Narrow Way

V6-MINI

[INTRO — bright clean guitar, pulsing synth, tight electronic percussion] [MALE VOCAL — spoken, rhythmic] Everybody says, “Follow your heart.” But what if your heart needs to turn around? [VERSE 1 — conversational rap-singing, bouncy bass] I've been running with my reasons, I've been hiding with my pride, Making peace with all the places Where I know I'm living sideways. But Jesus didn't come For the people who pretend, He came looking for the sinner, Calling “Come back home again.” The Church isn't just a courtroom, She's a hospital for souls, And the mercy of the Father Is the reason that the door stays open. So I don't have to fake it, I don't have to clean it first, I can bring You what I've broken, I can bring You what I've done. [PRE-CHORUS — building] Tell the truth, Drop the disguise, Turn around And step into the light. [CHORUS — HUGE MELODIC VOCALS, STACKED HARMONIES, GANG VOCALS] TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND! Mercy's waiting where the road runs out! TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND! You don't have to hide from Him now! Bring your heart, Bring your shame, Bring the sin you can't erase! Christ is calling, “Come back home!” TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND! [VERSE 2 — energetic rap-singing] Contrition isn't saying, “I got caught, so now I'm sorry,” It's my heart finally seeing What my sin has really cost me. I can fear the consequence, I can hate what sin has done, But deeper than the fear Is the love that says, “God, I want You.” So I confess it, Not because You need the story, But because I need the truth, And Your mercy meets me there When I finally stop pretending. No excuses, No “but they did this,” No shifting all the blame, Just a sinner at the doorway Calling Jesus by His name. [PRE-CHORUS — bigger] Tell the truth, Drop the disguise, Turn around And step into the light. [CHORUS — FULL BAND] TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND! Mercy's waiting where the road runs out! TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND! You don't have to hide from Him now! Bring your heart, Bring your shame, Bring the sin you can't erase! Christ is calling, “Come back home!” TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND! [BRIDGE — HALF-TIME BREAKDOWN, CALL AND RESPONSE] [LEAD] What if I don't feel sorry enough? [GANG] TURN AROUND! [LEAD] What if my heart is still afraid? [GANG] TURN AROUND! [LEAD] What if all I know to say is, “Jesus, have mercy”? [GANG] TURN AROUND! [LEAD] Then turn your heart toward Him. [GANG] TURN AROUND! [LEAD — building] Perfect love can move me, Fear can wake me up, But either way, The road leads back to You. I don't run from mercy. I RUN TO IT. [FINAL CHORUS — HUGE, TRIUMPHANT] TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND! Mercy's waiting where the road runs out! TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND! You don't have to hide from Him now! Bring your heart, Bring your shame, Bring the sin you can't erase! Christ is calling, “Come back home!” TURN AROUND! TURN AROUND! [OUTRO — gang vocals] Turn around! Come back home! Turn around! Come back home! Mercy isn't calling The perfect— It's calling me.
