about

We took this old Irish tune, part of the hymnal, and took it to church. No really, I always thought Canticle of the Turning was a rock song waiting to happen. We made it happen.

lyrics

My soul cries out with the joyful shout that the God of my heart is great
And my spirit sings of the wondrous things that you bring to the ones who wait
You fixed your sight on your servants plight and my weakness you did not spurn
So from east to west shall my name be blest. Could the world be about to turn?

Though I am small my God my all you work great things in me
And your mercy will last from the depths of the past to the end of the age to be
Your very name puts the proud to shame and those who would for you yearn
You will show your might put the strong to flight for the world is about to turn

My heart shall sing of the day you bring. Let the fires of your justice burn
Wipe away all tears for the dawn draws near and the world is about to turn

Whoa, about to turn
Whoa, about to turn
Whoa, about to turn
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?

From the halls of power, to the fortress tower not a stone will be left on stone
Let the king beware for your justice tears every tyrant from his throne
The hungry poor shall weep no more for the food they can never earn
There are tables spread every mouth be fed for the world is about to turn

My heart shall sing of the day you bring. Let the fires of your justice burn
Wipe away all tears for the dawn draws near and the world is about to turn

For the world is about to turn
For the world is about to turn
For the world is about to turn
For the world is about to turn
