Canticle of the Turning
My soul cries out with a joyful
shout that the God of my heart is great,
And my spirit sings of the wondrous
things that you bring to the ones who wait.
You fixed your sight on your servant's
plight, and my weakness you did not spurn,
So from east to west shall my name be
blest. Could the world be about to turn?
My heart shall sing of the day you bring.
Let the fires of your justice burn.
Wipe away all tears,
for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn!
Though I am small, my God, my all, you work great things in me,
And your mercy will last from the depths
of the past to the end of the age to be.
Your very name puts the proud to
shame, and to those who would for you yearn,
You will show your might,
put the strong to flight, for the world is about to turn.
My heart shall sing of the day you bring.
Let the fires of your justice burn.
Wipe away all tears,
for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn!
From the halls of power to the fortress
tower, not a stone will be left on stone.
Let the king beware for your
justice tears ev'ry tyrant from his throne.
The hungry poor shall weep no more, for the food they can never earn;
There are tables spread,
ev'ry mouth be fed, for the world is about to turn.
My heart shall sing of the day you bring.
Let the fires of your justice burn.
Wipe away all tears,
for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn!
Though the nations rage from age to age, we remeber who holds us fast:
God's mercy must deliver us from the conqueror's crushing grasp.
This saving word that out forebears
heard is the promise which holds us bound,
'Til the spear and rod can be crushed
by God, who is turning the world around.
My heart shall sing of the day you bring.
Let the fires of your justice burn.
Wipe away all tears,
for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn!
My heart shall sing of the day you bring.
Let the fires of your justice burn.
Wipe away all tears,
for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn!
shout that the God of my heart is great,
And my spirit sings of the wondrous
things that you bring to the ones who wait.
You fixed your sight on your servant's
plight, and my weakness you did not spurn,
So from east to west shall my name be
blest. Could the world be about to turn?
My heart shall sing of the day you bring.
Let the fires of your justice burn.
Wipe away all tears,
for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn!
Though I am small, my God, my all, you work great things in me,
And your mercy will last from the depths
of the past to the end of the age to be.
Your very name puts the proud to
shame, and to those who would for you yearn,
You will show your might,
put the strong to flight, for the world is about to turn.
My heart shall sing of the day you bring.
Let the fires of your justice burn.
Wipe away all tears,
for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn!
From the halls of power to the fortress
tower, not a stone will be left on stone.
Let the king beware for your
justice tears ev'ry tyrant from his throne.
The hungry poor shall weep no more, for the food they can never earn;
There are tables spread,
ev'ry mouth be fed, for the world is about to turn.
My heart shall sing of the day you bring.
Let the fires of your justice burn.
Wipe away all tears,
for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn!
Though the nations rage from age to age, we remeber who holds us fast:

This saving word that out forebears

My heart shall sing of the day you bring.
Let the fires of your justice burn.
Wipe away all tears,
for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn!
My heart shall sing of the day you bring.
Let the fires of your justice burn.
Wipe away all tears,
for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn!
