Turn the Page

Inspired by a writing, this song is about trusting The Author to write our story. ⸻ Spoken Intro (Rhythmic → Build) (soft, steady—almost like a heartbeat) When we feel broken… When the weight won’t lift… When yesterday keeps calling us back… (pause) We don’t go back. (Singing) No—God doesn’t rewind… He doesn’t retry… He doesn’t return To the place where it broke. (building) He’s the Author— And He’s still writing. (slight rise in intensity) He takes the ashes, He takes the pain, He takes the shattered pieces— And He turns the page. He takes the ashes, He takes the pain He takes the shattered pieces (repeat, stronger) He turns the page. He writes something new He turns the page He writes something new (rhythmic, rising) Not what was— Not what we lost— Not what was taken— But something new… (crescendo) Something more— More than we imagined… More than we could dream… (Call and Response building) He’s the Author He’s still writing! He turns the page— He’s writing you He turns the page Writing you into somebody new Not what was- Something new! Not what we lost— More than we knew! More than we imagined— More than we dreamed! Our God is writing— A greater story! (Spoken) We mourn what is lost. He takes the ashes of grief. God makes a beautiful headdress. God doesn’t return what we lost. He uses those shattered pieces to make something new. He restores beyond what we can imagine or dream. Our Sovereign Lord does more Transforming us into the image of Christ. Walking closer, loving deeper, looking like Jesus. He is rich in mercy, He is rich in grace. The next page of the story is not we thought. (Singing) No—God doesn’t rewind… He doesn’t retry… He doesn’t return To the place where it broke. (building) He’s the Author— And He’s still writing.
