Turnin'
After This Day is Gone

I saw a clearing in the clouds today
Much to my surprise, yay
The winds of change are blowing love my way
Sure as the sun is gonna rise
You know I can't hold it back,
(I can't hold it back)
No I can't hold it back
(I can't hold it back)
Nothin' but blue skies now
And long-awaited days
To know how You love me, ooh
Has helped me change my ways
[scat singing]
Watchin' fall and winter turn to spring
Makes me feel so strange
And I can see all of the colors that love can bring
You know I'm so pleased that seasons change
You know I can't hold it back, whoo!
(I can't hold it back)
I can't hold it back
(I can't hold it back)
Nothin' but blue skies now
And long-awaited days
To know how You love me, ooh
Has helped me change my ways
Summer sun is comin' back to melt my troubles away
I'm amazed at the worries I can leave behind
Think I'll stay just where I'm at
It's a heavenly new day
Everyday, everyday, I'm walkin' in the sunshine!
(Nothin' but blue skies now)
Ooh, yeah!
And long-awaited days
(To know how You love me, ooh)
Know how you love me
Has helped me change my ways
(Nothin' but blue skies now)
Nothin' but blue skies
And long-awaited days
(To know how You love me, ooh)
Has helped me change my ways
Walkin' in the sunshine
Oh, oh, oooh
Long-awaited days
In the blue skies

Lord above, I'm selfish born and bred
And everything I had to give I kept instead
I believe those days are over now
'Cause here I am turnin' myself in
Show me how
(Turnin' to You, I'm turnin'
Turnin' to give myself away
Turnin' to You, I'm turnin'
Turnin' to give myself away)
Countin' to three I'll say bye-bye I, I
Won't even mumble me, me, me
Or my, my, my, my
Start with You
Thy will not my will wins
And now I'm offering softened clay
Shape me any way You want to 'cause I am
(Turnin' to You, I'm turnin'
Turnin' to give myself away
Turnin')
Lord I'm turnin', yeah
(Turnin' to face another day)
Yeah, well, my ways aren't like Your ways are
That is always where I fail
Even I know You know better how
Keep our lives on course everyday, yeah
Yeah
And over
You keep me turnin' , mm
Shape me any way You want to
(Turnin' to You, I'm turnin'
Turnin' to give myself away)
Give myself away

I can't tell the future and I don't care
'Cause as I learn to trust You,
It's enough that You're there
Enough that You're there
You've given me the faith
To live through today
So You can have tomorrow,
You can have the next day
You can have the day after, the day after that, Jesus
I believe after this day's gone
Long after all the damage is done
There's still a place in Your heart for me
There's still a plan I can't see
After this day is gone
I always love it when its easy, things are goin' right
There will come a day when
Love is harder to come by
Harder to come by
All I ask, that You help me, stay by my side
You can have tomorrow
You can have the next day
You can have the day after, the day after that, because
I believe after this day's gone
Long after all the damage is done
There's still a place in Your heart for me
There's still a plan I can't see
After this day is gone
Nothin' in a day that time won't heal eventually
As long as Your love lasts forever
Believe it
I believe it will get better
There's a reason why I'm here
That's what I say
I might not understand it
As I face a rainy day
Oh, here comes that rainy day
All I ask, that You help me, stay by my side
You can have tomorrow
You can have the next day
You can have the day after, the day after that, Jesus
I believe after this day's gone
Long after all the damage is done
There's still a place in Your heart for me
There's still a plan I can't see
I believe after this day's gone
Long after all the damage is done
There's still a place in Your heart for me
There's still a plan I can't see
After this day is gone
This day is gone
After this day is gone
Whoo!

Hey!
Lookin' up in heaven
I can't imagine how far it must be to there
You know all too well
I don't have to tell you about this world right here
But I do wanna tell ya
As a friend and a brother
Got a friend in Jesus
He'll love you like no other
One touch away
Two steps apart
Three little words
Can it be so hard ?
After we've come so far
Now can He be so close?
He's standin' at your door
He's just one touch away from your heart
Yeah, mmm!
It's all out in the open
I told ya now I'm hopin' you'll feel like I do
'Cause I can't imagine
Tryin' to make things happen, children
Without God's point of view
'Cause He wrote all the questions
And He's got all the answers
Do ya know He can help you?
Is all I'm really askin'
One touch away
Two steps apart
Three little words
Can it be so hard ?
Just knowin' he's so close
Don't have to run too far
He's standin' at your door
He's just one touch away from your heart
Mmm!
Oh, can it be, can it, can it be so hard?
I can't imagine where I'd be
Without him
Oh He's one touch away
Two steps apart
Three little words
Can it be so hard ?
(Just knowin' he's so close)
Don't have to run too far
He's standin' at your door
He's just one touch away!
(One touch away
Two steps apart)
Two!
(Three little words)
Three!
(Just knowin' he's so close)
After we've come so far
He's standin' at your door
He's just one touch away!
Hey, hey!

There's a longing deep inside me
Some say is a good thing
Even though it's producing such an achin' in my heart
And all this restless imagination of what eternity is like
And seeing God for the first time
Brings a sense of fear but anticipation
Like streaks of gold and purple
Mixing in the morning sky
Just before the sun rises
With it's blinding glow
And it takes my breath away!
Dying to meet You in a heavenly new light
Searching the clouds for possibilities
Dying to meet You, see if all I've learned it true
Throwing away these vain philosophies
Oh, beyond this curtain that I'm clinging to
I know it's You
I know it's You
Came through a process as I searched for my identity
So many things I didn't know and surely never thought I'd learn
Only to find nothing is gained until I give myself away
In a final crowning gesture to the bright and morning star who lives
Jesus is my soul creator who lives and died for me
And I will now return His favor
My heart will stop when I know His face I see
Dying to meet You, we'll sing a brand new song
About the passing of the painful things
Dying to meet You, sad memories are gone
Lost in Your presence as new freedom rings
Oh, above the curtain that I'm clinging to
I still need You, I still need You
Like streaks of gold and purple mixing in the eastern sky
Just before the sun rises with it's blinding glow
And it takes my breath away
Dying to meet You, we'll sing a brand new song
About the passing of the painful things
Dying to meet You, sad memories are gone
Lost in Your presence as new freedom rings
Oh, above this curtain that I'm clinging to
I know it's You, I know it's You

Like a tiny little bubble of air rises
From the bottom of the sea
Slips the sapphire silence
Up to the surface where it longs to be
Up to the light of love
To where the air of hope is sweet
I'm delirious and I'm delighted
And when I finally reach the spot complete
With the close of my eyes
From the hole in my heart comes
A whisper heard
Around the world
With the close of my eyes
From the hole in my heart comes
A whisper heard
Around the world
Whoa! Oh!
Let me go of every longing
Lord, I know You hear when I pray
Everything I couldn't put into words
And when no one hears a word I say
And when I'm faint of heart, mm
Or when there's nothin' I can do
But let You know about the flood in my soul
I can barely give it up to You
With the close of my eyes
From the hole in my heart comes
A whisper heard
Around the world
With the close of my eyes
From the hole in my heart
Comes a whisper heard
Around the world
Around the world!
Oh and when I'm faint of heart
When there's nothin' I can do
But let You know about the flood in my soul
To give it up to You
With the close of my eyes
From the hole in my heart comes
A whisper heard
Around the world
Whoo!
With the close of my eyes
From the hole in my heart comes
A whisper heard
Around the world
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
With the close of my eyes
From the hole in my heart comes
A whisper heard
Around the world, yeah
With the close of my eyes
From the hole in my heart comes
A whisper heard
Around the world
Around the world!
Na, na, na, na!
[scat singing]
Slips the sapphire silence
Whoo hoo!
Like a tiny bubble of air
Rises from the bottom of the sea

Late at night
While the city lies sleeping, the streets grow quiet
As I'm searching my heart
I remember the time
You first touched my life
And no one could reach me
'Til the power of Your love set me free
And the walls I had made
They were all washed away
Your love came raining down on me
Straight to my soul
Straight to the very heart of me
And now I know
You are the reason I believe
No greater love in my heart
A greater love than this world has ever known
More than I could ever dream
It'll conquer anything
There is no greater love
Than this love
Sun brings a new day
Shining so sweetly
Lights my way
To another road
Where it leads, heaven knows
Now that I'm living forever with You
You touched my soul
You touched the very heart of me
And now I know
You are the reason I believe
No greater love in my heart
A greater love than this world has ever known
More than I could ever dream
It'll conquer anything
There is no greater love
No greater love in my heart
A greater love than this world has ever known
More than you could ever dream
It'll conquer anything
There is no greater love
Everybody dreams sometimes
Hopin' for somethin' to change their lives
I'm no longer searchin'
I found the answer in You
Hey!
No greater love in my heart
A greater love than this world has ever known
More than you could ever dream
It'll conquer anything
There is no greater love
No greater love in my heart
Than this world has ever known
More than you could ever dream
Oh, there is no greater love
No greater love in my heart
Oh!
It'll conquer anything
There is no greater love

You never said goodbye
Before tearing away
And I could never find you
It's good to hear your voice
Tell me are you O.K.?
Sounds like you're so far away
Take all the time you need
Just stay on the line
I'll hear you this time
Tell me where you are
Oh, I don't want you to feel lost forever
Tell me where you are
I'll be there and if you need
I'll bring you home
So much we left unsaid
Though we never agree
I still miss the time with you here
'Cause you'll always be my child
What I'm longing to say
Let's lay this broken past aside
If you're reachin' out to me again
I am here
I'll give you my time
Sharing the pain won't wash it all away
But there'll be a cleaner wound
It'll heal one day
Oh, oh, oh! Oh!
If you're reachin' out to me again, I am here
I'll give you my time
Tell me where you are
Oh, I don't want you to feel lost forever
Just tell me where you are
I'll be there for you I swear
I'll bring you home
Oh!

Oh!
Love love, mm
Love mercy, too
It's God's goodness getting' me through
Love joy
It's the greatest thing
A sweet expression in all I do
Makes me want to cry when I'm happy, oh
Keeps me laughin' some time when I'm sad
When It's good It's so unspeakable
I can't explain it
Oh! Don't wanna lose it tryin' to figure it out
Joy!
(Joy is)
Is a singable thing
Sho' worth singin' about
Not peace, mm
It's not happiness
It must somethin' rolled up in between
Not sure but I do know
What I get when I live my life clean
I ain't got, no, all the answers, no
This feelin' makes a singer of me , yeah
It's true I can't explain it
Oh and I've got to have it, yo!
Throws a light on a shadow of doubt
Joy!
(Joy is)
A singable thing
Sho' worth singin' about,
(About)
Oh, I said joy!
(Joy is)
A melody ringin'
From the inside out
Whoo!
Can't imagine it'd be too hard to have it
When you're hangin' with the heavenly host, no, no, no, no, oh, oh
But when I'm out there facin' down my troubles
Well, I don't mind a present from the Holy Ghost
Yay, yay, whoo!
(Joy is a singable thing
Sho' worth singin' about)
Oh, yeah!
Singin' about!
(Joy is a melody ringin'
From the inside out)
Whoo! I'm talkin' 'bout joy!
(Joy is a singable thing
Sho' worth singin' about)
I say that joy!
(Joy is a melody ringin'
From the inside out)
Oh yeah!, Oh! Ah! Whoo!

I know the things that hurt you by heart
I know before the bad feelings start
I'm watching how you turn away melting inside
And I know you think you'll fix it yourself
You think of Me, it scares you away
Pretty sure you know what I'd say
You've heard so many people cry, speaking for Me
They all claim
You oughta know right by now
Take a took at Me
Don't ya know Me?
I've always been by your side
Take another look at Me
You can need Me
I know when you're tired
And when you're alone and lost
You're so afraid of tippin' your hand
Or learning where this hurting began
'Cause you like the way they see you now, from the outside
So you try to hide how desperate you are
Take a look at Me
You can trust Me
I'll always be by your side
Take another look at Me
You can need Me
'Cause I know when you're tired
And when you're alone and lost
I'm not surprised by the things you do and say
Oh! You'll never see Me walking away
I've been there at every turn you take
And the mistakes you've made
It hurts to see, you're not looking at Me
I'm always the faithful one, always will be
Take a look at Me
You can trust Me
I'll always be by your side
Take another look at Me
You can need Me
I know when you're tired
And when you're alone and lost
I know when you're tired
And when you are lost

There's a place
Only a heart can go
And without any word
Let your feelings flow
There's a voice
Only a soul can hear
In a cleansing rain
Falling soft and clear
Come to your troubled waters edge
Step in and you'll find me there
You'll find me there
Take heart
And I'll take your hand,
Be still and be strong,
We will reach the promise land
Take heart
God knows where we are
He won't let us down
He's brought us too far
Take heart
There's a wound
Jesus alone can touch
But it's so hard to face
'Cause it hearts so much
There's a pain
Only His cross can bear
And our only hope
Is to leave it there
Run to your troubled waters edge
Step in and you'll find me there
You'll find me there
Take heart,
And I'll take your hand
Be still and be strong
We will reach the promise land
Take heart
God knows where we are
He won't let us down
He's brought us too far
All around you His angels wait
And though the waves are cold
His wings are great
So trust, He's not gonna let you drown
He's gonna carry us across
To higher ground
Come to your troubled waters edge
And you'll have your miracle
Take heart
And I'll take your hand
Be still and be strong,
We will reach the promise land
Take heart
God knows where we are
He won't let us down
He's brought us too far
So take heart
Take heart
(And I'll take your hand)
Be still and be strong
(We will reach the promise land)
Take heart
(God knows where you are)
Oh, He won't let you down
(He's brought us too far)
So take heart

(He's brought us too far)
So take heart
(And I'll take your hand)
So take heart
(We will reach the promise land)
Oh, be still and be strong, yeah
(God knows where you are)
He won't let you down
(He's brought us too far)
Won't let you down
(And I'll take your hand)
Take heart
Oh be still
