One Good Turn

Rich Mullins


"From dirt I was made, to dirt I will return 
And all I might seem to be is not who I am 
For the Father above has given me life and breath 
And all that I have is His 

From dirt I was made, to dirt I will return 
And all I might seem to be is not who I am 
For the Father above has given me life and breath 
And all that I have is His 

Whispering morning kisses away the night, 
And then she touches the river, she's making the mist to rise 
And the mist comes off the water, he spins and laughs and he leaves, 
And then he dances a moment, oh, but the music is brief 

Time keeps turning, one turn deserves another 
I'm just learning what You already know 
We live but a moment, we come and we go 

And the hawk comes riding and racing across the sky 
And he chases the winds, and he turns to wave goodbye 
To the storm that's kickin' up in the middle of the day 
But now the rain won't last long, soon she'll be blown away 

Time keeps turning, one turn deserves another 
I'm just learning what You already know 
We live but a moment, we come and we go 

Who knows but that you have come into this world 
For such a time as this 
Who knows but that you have come into this world 
For such a time as this 

Silently the evening sends coals within the heavens 
To this silouette cradle like a bird within her nest 
And the day is in his autumn when the night is in her bloom 
And now the colors are falling, they're giving their way to the moon 

Time keeps turning, one turn deserves another 
I'm just learning what You already know 
We live but a moment, we come and we go 

Who knows but that you have come into this world 
For such a time as this 
Who knows but that you have come into this world 
For such a time as this 
Who knows but that you have come into this world 
For such a time as this 
Who knows but that you have come into this world 
For such a time as this"
