Our Turn Now

Carman


"Good evening. This is Charlene Lewis for the 6:00 news. Today, June 25, 1962, the Supreme Court has ruled that school prayer and Bible reading shall cease in all public school systems. It is now official; God has been removed from the classroom in the United States of America."

The ball got dropped in '62
They wouldn't let children pray in school 
Violent crime began to rise 
The grades went down and the kids got high 
Free love, gay rights, no absolutes, abortion on demand 
Brought VD, AIDS, and no morality 
Today no one knows right from wrong 
There's blood on people's hands 
World, you had your turn at bat 
Now stand back and see 

That it's our turn now 
Something's gonna change 
We're gonna bind the devil at every hand by the power of Jesus' name 
Well, it's our turn now think it no surprise 
When the gates of hell come crashing down 
And you begin to see the church arise 

The Supreme Court said, "No God at all" 
With the Ten Commandments on their wall 
God's Word in the library won't appear 
We have a religious apartheid here 
Humanism, atheism, no Bible, our consciences have died 
We need to seek our God and call His name 
The church triumphant's still alive and we're gonna turn the tide 
'Cause with boldness and conviction, we proclaim 

Arise and shine, for the Light has come 
It's time to lift the name of Jesus high 

Yes, it's our turn now 
Something's gonna change 
We're gonna bind that devil at every hand by the power of Jesus' name 
It's our turn now, think it no surprise 
When the gates of hell come crashing down 
You begin to see the church arise 
It's our turn now 
It's no surprise 
See those gates of hell crash down 
When you begin to see the church arise
