Victor Barden: Music
Turn to Me
(Victor Barden)
LYRICS:
“Turn to Me with all of your heart;
Turn to Me with fasting.
Turn to Me with weeping and with mourning,
And I will turn to you.
“Turn to Me with all of your heart;
Turn to Me today.
Turn to me with all of your heart,
And I will lead you in the Way.”
Rend your heart and not your garments;
Return to the Lord your God,
For He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger
And abounding in steadfast love.
“Turn to Me with all of your heart;
Turn to Me today.
Turn to Me with all of your heart,
And I will lead you in the Way.”
STORY: I wrote the guitar part to this song in the late 1970's, when I was learning to play the guitar. The lyrics, which I found in the early 1990's, are from Joel 2:12-13.
