Turn Away From Evil
Turn away from evil…
Do what is good or what suits God well
Seek peace and pursue it prudently
Patiently, rely on God and our hearts will not bleed with dismay
Knock on His door everyday
He will hear our cries,
answer our calls,
and open the door for us
Wait on Him with earnest hope,
Turn away from evil…
He will give you the Truth instead of Lies
Don’t lose hope, oh you of little faith
Hold on to the rope of hope
Turn away from evil…
God hates evil-doers
He loves a cheerful heart and giver
He’s a shield in war
He relieves us from the fever
God hears out His superb, faithful sheep
Deliver us from our many fears
Turn away from evil…
Heal the brokenhearted
Let your eyes not sleep tonight,
But pray to Him until the dawn arrives
His sun-shining spirit will be strengthened and renewed
We will shed no more…tears!
Turn away from evil…
He will fill our cups to the brim
He will encourage us to drink in more cheers
Afflictions and disappointments
Have fallen upon us
Once more...I'm trying to explore
We need more time - so, what are you waiting for?
Turn away from evil...
Look up to HIM or you'll face peril!
Turn away from evil…
We’re plagued by sin and abominable lusts,
But we must keep trying…keep running till we lose our breath
We need Your life, not tear-jerking death
Turn away from evil...
We must keep trekking the road of recovery
We will experience cloud 7 in no time…
We will be shining bright like the sun in the aqua-blue sky possibly
Turn away from evil…
Depression has casted us away from the illuminating love, shimmering with majestic bliss
We drift away from God’s Word and worship other gods in this World of Woe
Turn away from evil…
Guilt hits us to the core, but we must keep score
Of all of the miracles that God has bestowed upon us kindly
I need Him more and more than ever before
We will escape this plight, we will find our way out of the maze, though we graze blindly
What does the future have in store for us?
This is something we should ignore
Turn away from evil…
Or we'll end up in our ruins and
We'll have a tainted soul
That wouldn't be grand! But our downfalls - He does understand
He does understand...and He gives us a helping hand
And wants us to land in His Wonderful Land!
Turn away from evil...
Or we'll be scattered like sand in the beach
We'll have a worthless soul
That would be bad! But, our uprisings though - they are rad - reach!
Reach for His enlightening wisdom and
Turn away from evil...
But in the end,
All we are is powerless and doubtful sheep,
Returning to the dust
