Stop and Turn

When the world says, "Who do you think you are? You can't make it."
You tell it to shut up in a very mean manner.

STOP and TURN

Each day as life gets hard
I would pick up that guitar and
Start fooling with some chords
And dozing into a different world

When the joy feels so far away
And the crowd left me astray
I'd remember the same ol' tune
Telling me "Don't worry, I'm coming soon."

Wake me up
Slap me in the face
Do whatever You can
To get me out of here

Pull me up
Set me on a rock
Take me above the storm
To look down on my fear

What if He comes knocking
Will I be able to notice?
Scared of being left out
Again I'd sing that chorus

Am I disqualified or
Should I be satisfied with
All the coldness and death that's
Building up walls and making me
A frog in the well again?

Stop and turn
Toward the light
Stop and turn
From all my frights
Only You can satisfy
Only You can satisfy

Stop and turn
And lift my eyes
Stop and turn
Toward the prize
Only You can satisfy
Only You can satisfy

This really expressed what I'm feeling right now.
I do not want to gain the world and lose my soul. I really don't.
Life becomes dull, boring, and meaningless without Jesus.
