Love Never Fails

Album Lyrics

Turn Away

 

A.Lester/S.Atkins

I stand alone at the the throne of God, in the hush or the twilight dim,

And face the questions that pierce my heart

What will you do?

 

I look on the face still freshly marred, by Gethsemane's agony

The look in his eyes, it breaks my heart, it's so full of love.

So Full of love for me.

 

He's holding out his nail - scarred hands

and I surely see that he understands,

for he saves the life of a fallen man.

How could I turn away?

How could I turn away?

 

Alone with my thoughts I begin to see

what perfect love he has for me.

The question which haunts me comes again,

what will I do?

What will I do?

 

He's holding out his nail - scarred hands

and I surely see that he understands,

for he saves the life of a fallen man.

How could I turn away?

How could I turn away?

 

I kneel in tears at the feet of Christ who died for me.

I cannot turn away such love for it will set me free.

I surrender all to this King, my Lord and Saviour.

I will give my life, I'll not look back, I will follow.

 

He's holding out his nail - scarred hands

and I surely see that he understands

for he saved the life of this fallen man.

I will not turn away.

His love is bringing a change in me,

and I surely see that I believe,

for he saved my life and he set me free,

I could never turn away.

I could never turn away.

I could never turn away.
