The Turn
Mary B. Dovie July 2, 2015
The Lord: Delight you, MY people, sing with ME
The hour has arrived, MY glory to see
MY Kingdom has come, all the earth rejoices
Let praises arise with thundering voices
The People: But, Lord, we see how the evil advances
Our prayers seem futile, we see no answers
We are weary, tired, and forlorn
Like Job we ask, “Why were we born?”
The Lord: MY dear ones, you were born for this day and hour
MY work is ongoing, I’m releasing MY power
Give no place to the enemy’s chidings
MY Word is Truth, I bring good tidings
The People: Oh, Lord, pour out Your empowering grace
Our hearts’ desire is to see You face-to-face
Open our eyes that we might see the Light
Of Your glory to illumine this darkest of nights
The Lord: I tell you, MY children, all is not what it seems to be
I have kept the roots alive of the Liberty Tree
By MY powerful arm, I am pruning the dead parts
That life may now flourish with a brand-new start
The People: With hunger and thirst, we desire Your Truth to prevail
The fickleness of men’s ways bring only travail
When good is called evil and sin abounds
Only You have the answer to turn things around
The Lord: I AM the King of this American nation
I judge all things as Lord of Creation
I hear your cries of grief and concern
Keep your eyes on Me, there is coming a turn
I will use the darkness to awaken MY Bride
No more delays, it is time to arise
Wash your garments clean and white
The trumpet has sounded, come into the fight
The People: Oh, Lord, we are willing to arise to Your alarm
Equip us for battle with Your weapons and arms
Not by natural might, but by the Spirit we’ll win
Our liberty from corruption and sin
The Lord: The good tidings I bring today
Confirm MY intentions and MY ways
MY work may seem strange to some
Be assured, My Bride, I’ll leave nothing undone
