This is an original song called "Turn to Him" that I felt inspired to write as I began studying deeper about Christ and his atonement. As I studied his life and death I couldn't help but be drawn to the truth that we truly are never alone when we turn to Christ because he knows us perfectly. One of my favorite parts about writing this song was backing up every single line with a scripture that I found throughout my studies. I listed them after the lyrics for anyone who would like to look them up.
TURN TO HIM
By: Kylie Bliss
Do you ever feel alone,
Like no one's listening?
Do you ever give up hope
When you can't see?
Do you ever listen close
To hear him whispering?
Do you hear that still small voice
That says "come follow me"?
[CHORUS]
You're not alone cause Christ has come,
God loved the world, so he sent his son.
He hears your voice, he knows your fears,
Wipes always your tears and pleads with you to come
Open the door and let him in,
He bled and died, a sacrifice for sin.
He pleads your cause, he knows your name,
Sends peace and love, replacing guilt and shame
When you turn to him
He's our shepherd, Christ our Lord
He knows his sheep.
He's the light of the world,
Strengthens the weak.
Will you reach out, take his hand
And go and do?
Will you rise up, take a stand?
He's calling you!
[CHORUS]
Aquainted with grief,
He knows your sorrows
He heals your tomorrows
And yesterdays.
He cleanses sin
And carries burdens
From those who desert them
And follow him.
Oh, you're not alone
When you turn to him
And oh, you'll find your hope
When you turn to him
[CHORUS ×2]
As I was writing I challenged myself to find a scripture for every single line I wrote. Along the way I gained a firm testimony of the need for both the Bible and the Book of Mormon to fully understand Christ. There were many instances in which I hunted for the perfect scripture and could only find one in the Book of Mormon, and others where I could only find the perfect one in the Bible. Without the scriptures we would not fully know Christ. How wonderful it is that our Heavenly Father has given us such a wonderful gift!
