VERSE 1.
I need your grace to carry me, cannot help myself,
I try and try but not enough, your favor I need,
When darkness covers me, I need your light,

Shine your light show me grace, your favor I need,
Your grace Lord is all I need; Lord show up for me.
Your grace Lord is all I need; Lord show up for me.

I need you to change my story,
Only you will take the glory,
Nothing is too difficult for you,
You can make all things possible,
Give me double for my trouble!
Take me to the next level!
Give me double for my trouble!
Take me to the next level!
I will tell the world that you turn my life around.
I will shine your light for the world to see.
CHORUS.
Turn it around,
Let your mercy turn it, turn it.
Turn it around,
Let your power turn it, turn it.
Turn it around,
Let your favor turn it, turn it.
Turn it around,
Let your kindness turn it, turn it
