Turning Point



Call out to the Lord
and see if He will answer you now.
Ask Him to deliver a nation from its sins.
Ask Him when life begins
And when it ends.
Run into your homes.
Watch the carnage unfold on the screen.
Will God not avenge His children?
His children?
Ask Him if you are His kin.
Forgiven sin.
