Turn To Me

Story Behind The Song

One night, while reading David's 25th Psalm, the words "Turn to me" in verse 16, jumped off the page. What intrigued me was David's bravery in instructing God what to do. There's no flowery language in verse 16. David's instructions are clear and concise. I imagine him being exhausted, upset and raising his voice to His father because He allowed his enemies to pursue him. In verse 20 he says "Guard my life and rescue me!" This doesn't sound like a man who is at rest. David is crying for help! It was this Psalm where I learned that God wants us to be honest and authentic. He wants us to cry out. Vocalizing the thoughts of our heart is pleasing to Him! We grow closer to Him when we ask him for help. It validates how much we rely on His strength, not our own.

Lyrics

To You, oh Lord
I lift my soul
In You I trust
Oh God of hope
Don't let me be put to shame
Don't let my enemies reign
Show me, oh Lord
All Your ways
Teach me the path
That you want me to take
Forget the sins of my youth
Guide me as I walk in Your truth
Turn to me
Guard my life and rescue me
Turn to me
Shield me for eternity
Turn to me
Change my life and set me free
Oh gracious God
Won't you turn to me?
My eyes, oh Lord
Are fixed on You
My heart it longs
To know Your truth
Humbly I'll keep Your commands
Guide me with a touch of Your hand
Oh, how gracious You are
Oh, how holy You are
Oh, how gracious You are to me
You set me free
