Monday Music - My Turning

I am standing at a crossroads
Where so many have stood before;
Fools and sages from all ages,
The rich and famous, the forgotten and poor.
And Joshua's voice still echos in the place,
Saying, "Choose who you’ll serve today."
I've got to follow one of two roads;
Will I turn or turn away?

This, this is my turn,
This is my turning.
This, this is my turn,
This is my turning.

This is where Saul stood on the road to Damascus
Blinded by a heavenly light.
This is where Stephen was stoned for the Gospel
And Bartimaeus received his sight.
Peter preached here at Pentecost–
Three thousand turned their hearts that day.
This is the place where a rich young ruler
Thought the price was just to much to pay.

This was their turn,
This was their turning.
This was their turn,
This was their turning.

And I can hear Jesus calling my name,
Saying, "I've got a purpose for you;"
But just like Jacob at Peniel
I am wrestling with what to do.
But there's a great cloud witnesses
Traveling down that road,
And I'm gonna follow in their footsteps,
I’ve decided the way to go.

This is my turn,
This is my turning.
This, this is my turn,
This is my turning.

This, this is my turn,
This is my turning.
This is my turn,
This is my turning.
This is my turning.
