01 Our Turn Now
Words and music: Carman The ball got dropped in '62 They wouldn't let children pray in school Violent crime began to rise The grades went down and the kids got high Free love, gay rights, no absolutes, abortion on demand Brought VD, AIDS, and no morality Today no one knows right from wrong There's blood on people's hands World, you had your turn at bat Now stand back and see That it's our turn now Something's gonna change We're gonna bind the devil at every hand By the power of Jesus' name Well, it's our turn now Think it no surprise When the gates of hell come crashing down And you begin to see the church arise The Supreme Court said, "No God at all" With the Ten Commandments on their wall God's Word in the library won't appear We have a religious apartheid here Humanism, atheism, no Bible Our consciences have died We need to seek our God and call His name The church triumphant's still alive And we're gonna turn the tide 'Cause with boldness and conviction, we proclaim Arise and shine, for the Light has come It's time to lift the name of Jesus high Yes, it's our turn now Something's gonna change We're gonna bind that devil at every hand By the power of Jesus name It's our turn now Think it no surprise When the gates of hell come crashing down And you begin to see the church arise It's our turn now It's no surprise See those gates of hell crash down When you begin to see the church arise |
