Till I Turn to You
Turning from Temptation to Embrace Divine Guidance
Lyrics
Time after time, I've turned away from you
Repeatedly, I have distanced myself from you
When all I had to do was surrender to your love
Instead, I just needed to submit to your love
You've seen me stumble, you've watched me fall
You've witnessed my failures and seen me fall
And though I heard you call, I just wasn't strong enough
Despite hearing your call, I lacked the strength to respond
But there's an emptiness inside without you in my life
An emptiness persists without you in my life
Lord, I hope you hear my prayer tonight
Expressing a prayer to the Lord for understanding
Won't you blind my eyes when all I see is temptation
Requesting blindness to temptation when I'm visually captivated
Break my stride when I'm runnin' from the truth
Asking for intervention when avoiding the truth
An' tie my hands when I reach out with desire
Desiring restraint when pursuing tempting desires
Go on an' do what you must do
Acceptance of whatever trials necessary to lead me to you
Whatever you must put me through, 'till I turn to you, yeah
Enduring challenges until I finally turn to you
I know others fall down on their knees for mercy
Acknowledging the possibility of needing pain for enlightenment
But you may have to hurt me before I see the light
Recognition that hardship might be required for understanding
'Cause I've gone as far as I can go all by myself
Having reached my limit alone, acknowledging the need for help
You know I need your help if I'm gonna get it right
Expressing dependence on your assistance to get things right
Tired of strugglin' every day, Lord I wanna know the way
Fed up with daily struggles, seeking guidance and direction
So, now the only prayer I wanna pray
The only prayer is to be guided by the divine
Is just blind my eyes when all I see is temptation
Reiterating the plea for resistance to temptation
Break my stride when I'm runnin' from the truth
Requesting a halt when evading the truth
An' tie my hands when I reach out with desire
Seeking limitation when pursuing tempting desires
Go on an' do what you must do
Accepting and enduring whatever is necessary
Whatever you must put me through, 'till I turn to you, yeah
Commitment to face trials until the turning point is reached
Blind my eyes, break my stride
Repetition of the plea for intervention
Let every want be denied, whatever you must do
Desiring every want to be denied for spiritual growth
An' tie my hands, ignore my demands
Asking for restrictions and a barrier to excessive demands
Build a wall that stands so high, I can't get through
Requesting an obstacle so formidable that personal effort is insufficient
'Till I turn to you, 'till I turn to you, oh yeah, 'till I turn to you, 'till I turn to you
Continued commitment to the journey of turning to the divine
