You Turned Me Lyrics

YOU TURNED ME Alex Murray Forbes

I was moving in a slow lane

Seeking fulfilment in ideals that I felt within

I was travelling a road charted by my heart

As it drew me down a snaky line

Many faces loomed at me

Holding up signs directing me to follow their path

But when I put my foot forward to travel where they showed

A warning said 'Go Back You're Going the Wrong Way!'

Cause you turned me

Message from Heaven you turned me

I was lost in illusion on a map of confusion

and I needed some help

But you turned me

Water and Spirit you turned me

I was aimed at the grave, and not feeling brave

You rescued me, enlightened my eyes

Many people lookin' at me

Thinking I'm a fool; they say I put my trust in pie in the sky

But if their eyes could be enlightened

Their hearts were not so frightened

They'd feel the love that lifts me high

In a world of confusion

Where there is a profusion of ideas about what is real

You gave me your down payment, clothed me with your raiment

You placed upon me your seal

Cause you turned me

Message from Heaven you turned me

I was lost in illusion on a map of confusion

and I needed some a help

But you turned me

Water and Spirit you turned me

I was aimed at the grave, and not feeling brave

You rescued me, enlightened my eyes

Selfless love

Selfless love

Power that turned my heart, never to depart

Centre and source of Life

Cause you turned me

Message from Heaven you turned me

I was feeling very strange, almost was deranged

You picked me up, to lift me on high

Yes you turned me
