Empty moments when I feel hopeless / Have left me restless inside / Doubt and sadness have kept me in fragments / Longing for a better life / Oh, it’s the way the world turns / The way, the way // And I feel the current pulling me down / Can’t keep the world from turning around / So I keep on turning to You / I keep turning / ‘Cause You’re the hope of a new sunrise / Breaking over a desperate life
And I keep on turning to You / I keep turning to You // I’m so distracted by senseless passions / Tempting my wandering eyes / But every pursuit brings me closer to the truth / That only You can satisfy // The way we’re hurting keeps us turning to You // Oh, it’s the way the world turns / The way the world turns / Oh, and I keep on turning to You

Behind the Song:
"We live in a world that is tragically broken. With every new day spinning into play, we wrestle with sin and hurt all over again. We’ll never be able to change this fact. Fortunately, we’re not expected to. As Christians, when we’re navigating through life’s treacherous waters and are thrown about by all the currents that want nothing more than to swallow us whole; we can learn to maneuver within them because God provided a guiding light through his son. When we’re tossed around and can’t decipher up from down or left from right, we have to keep turning. Keep turning because eventually Jesus will be the sunrise that lights our course and points us back to safety." - Sanctus Real
