Turn On That Day

Well, they caught us by surprise
Attacking from the skies
Turning jet fuel into fiery prisons

With loved ones trapped inside
Some jumped to end their lives

Our hearts writhe with pain
Where did we turn on that day?
Did we remember God our Maker?
Did we seek to find His favor?
Running to the one we love
Forget not Our God above

This land He has given
Now filled with division
For a while unified
After that terrible surprise
Our churches filled up,
For a whole three months
We joined hands across aisles
To heal the pain that filled our eyes

Our hearts writhe with pain
Where did we turn on that day?
Did we remember God our Maker?
Did we seek to find His favor?
Running to the one we love
Forget not Our God above

Let the home of the free
Forget not to bow a knee
The Maker up above
Casts down His light of love
His Rule in our life
Shall end all our strife

Let us turn, let us walk by His side

Our hearts writhe with pain
Where did we turn on that day?
Did we remember God our Maker?
Did we seek to find His favor?
Running to the one we love
Forget not Our God above

Though we offend Thee every hour
His grace has more power
While we ruin the ones we love
He grants favor from above
Let us turn from our ways;
Turn to Him every day
