Lyrics
I’m gonna turn, turn, turn
There’s a time for every thing
Gonna turn from the wrong road
And choose to do what’s right
Gonna turn from selfishness
Live by faith, not by sight
Turn from my desires
Give the Good Lord my whole life
Gonna turn, turn, turn from darkness
And walk in true light
Gonna turn from taking away
Giving back with all my might
Gonna turn from talking trash
Speaking out all the words of life
Turn from chasing luck
Share the Truth so far and wide
Gonna turn, turn, turn from addiction
With the Lord by my side
Time to lay those burdens down
The old man has gone
Time to lay those burdens down
When I am weak then I am strong
Gonna turn from painful memories
Be renewed in my mind
Gonna turn from hurting others
Bringing peace into the fight
Turn from aggravation
Learn to apologise
Gonna turn, turn, turn from self-pity
Forgive day and night
Time to lay those burdens down
The old man has gone
Time to lay those burdens down
When I am weak then I am strong
Gonna turn, turn, turn
I met my Maker
Gonna turn, turn, turn
To our Creator
I’m gonna turn, turn, turn
There’s a time for everything
