Who told you that you had gone too far? Who convinced you that grace stopped looking for you? Let me tell you something… Turn around. I kept running with a smile like everything was fine, Trying to leave every shadow and mistake behind. Every promise that I chased turned to dust in my hands, Every shortcut that I followed left me farther from the plan. Thought the distance made me vanish, Thought that Heaven lost my name. Every road I labeled freedom Only led me back to shame. Then I heard a quiet whisper, Not condemning… calling me. Like the sunrise through the darkness, Breaking chains I could not see. The lie kept saying, “Stay where you are.” Mercy kept saying, “You are never too far.” I thought I had to earn What His love already gave. Then I found a waiting Father With compassion in His gaze. Turn around… There is mercy on the road. Mercy on the road Turn around… You do not have to walk alone. You are not alone Grace is calling louder Than every voice of fear. The Father has been waiting, His arms are open here. Turn around… Leave the night behind. Leave it behind Turn around… Come alive. Come alive Every hidden wound was known, Nothing escaped His sight. Still He reached into my darkness And led my heart toward the light. He washed away my failures, Made these weary footsteps new. What I thought would be my ending Became the place He carried me through. Living water filled the spaces Where my empty soul had been. He exchanged my heavy ashes For a hope that would not end. Now I know repentance Is not drowning in regret. It is turning toward the Savior Who has never left me yet. Let me make it clear… I am not too broken. I am not too late. His compassion is much greater Than the weight of my mistakes. Every chain falls. Every burden breaks. He still sees me. He still calls me by my name. Turn around… There is mercy on the road. Mercy on the road Turn around… You do not have to walk alone. Never walk alone Grace is calling louder Than every voice of fear. The Father has been waiting, His arms are open here. Turn around… Leave the night behind. Leave it all behind Turn around… Come alive. Come alive Today I choose To turn toward You. Today I leave The old behind. Your kindness led me here, Now Your joy is changing mine. I spent too long believing I was sentenced by my past, But grace was never temporary, And Your mercy did not pass. Every scar can tell a story That was rewritten by Your grace. Every step I take toward Jesus Finds me welcomed and embraced. Turn around… Mercy never walked away. Turn around… His love is calling you today. Hope is rising. Fear is bowing. He is faithful even now. No more running. No more hiding. I am finally coming home. The enemy said, “You ruined everything.” But mercy said, “Come home.” The enemy said, “You will never change.” But Jesus said, “You are known.” The enemy pointed To everything I had done. But the cross kept speaking… “It is finished.” It is finished I was falling forward, But He caught me in His hands. I was buried under failure, But He called me back to stand. I was searching for a doorway While He stood there all along. I thought I had lost my place, But the Father called me home. Turn around… There is mercy on the road. Mercy is waiting Turn around… You do not have to walk alone. You are not alone Grace is calling louder Than every voice of fear. The Father has been waiting, His arms are open here. Turn around… Mercy never walked away. Never walked away Turn around… His love is calling you today. He is calling Every scar can tell A story healed by grace. Every step toward Jesus Is another step embraced. Turn around… Hope is rising now. Hope is rising Turn around… He is faithful now. Always faithful No more running. No more hiding. I am finally coming home. If you can hear His voice… Do not harden your heart. The door has always been open. You do not have to understand Every mile that brought you here. You only have to take The next step. All it takes… Is one step… Turn around.
