He Turned It
From Despair to Dance: A Divine Turnaround Story
Lyrics
Yes there were times in my life when I thought I would never make it.
Reflects on challenging times where the speaker felt they might not succeed.
I almost went down I was out for the count I was through.
Almost succumbed to difficulties, felt defeated, and on the verge of giving up.
But it was then when I thought it would end that I stood up again and
Despite the belief that things were ending, the speaker found the strength to rise again.
What hell had for evil god turned it around for my good
Adversity intended by evil turned around by God for the speaker's benefit.
The devil thought he (had me)
The devil believed he had control or power over the speaker.
Thought that my life was (over)
Believed life was finished or concluded.
He thought by now I'd (give up)
The devil expected the speaker to quit or give up.
He thought I had no (more)
Assumed the speaker had nothing left to offer.
But that's when someone (greater)
At this juncture, someone stronger intervened in the speaker's situation.
Stepped in my (situation)
Intervention in the speaker's circumstances.
My morning has now begun
Symbolizes the beginning of a better phase in life.
He turned it!
Reiteration of the positive transformation or intervention that occurred.
Sometimes I look back and I don't know how in the world I made it
Reflecting on past difficulties and finding it hard to comprehend overcoming them.
All of those nights I would cry my heart so filled with pain
Nights filled with emotional distress and agony.
Worry consumed me my whole life revolved around fear and stress
Life consumed by worry, fear, and stress.
I was tired and weak I just could not compete anymore
Exhausted and incapable of continuing the struggle.
The devil thought he (had me)
Similar sentiment as line 6, indicating the devil's perception of control.
Thought that my life was (over)
Believed life had reached its conclusion.
He thought by now I'd (give up)
Expected the speaker to surrender.

Assumed the speaker had nothing more to endure or give.
But that's when someone (greater)

Continuation of the intervention in the speaker's circumstances.
My morning has now begun
