Turnabout

When your life seems bleak
And when you feel lost
Then hear the Lord speak
No matter the cost

He’ll show the way out
The light at the end
If on that long route
Your hand you Him lend

The night turns to day
A blessing from curse
Fall not for dismay
He’ll all that reverse

All about is in shambles
As a ship turned to wreckage
But the Lord daily scrambles
A mess into a message

You are beset by great temptation
Deep inside you feel like a phony
God will bring a transformation
A test into a testimony

Daily in adversity
Barely forward you galumph
God makes of infirmity
A trial into a triumph

You can’t escape your poverty
A tragedy is your history
The Lord will mold like pottery
A victim into a victory

Thus all the things work
For the good of those
Who make it a perk
And God’s love bring close

In no other way has man succeeded
Safe through this most fiery furnace
It is the very discipline needed
To develop purity and firmness

So have no concern
God will surely turn
A mess into a message
A test into a testimony
A trial into a triumph
A victim into a victory
