Verse 1

I know sometimes it's hard to live with the world around you.

And I know sometimes it feels––it feels like the Lord has left you.

Chorus

Then it's time to turn to Him. Jesus Christ will be your friend.

Then it's time to pray to Him. He'll stand by until the end.

Verse 2

I know you've heard it all before.

But the feelin' never seemed to last

Sometimes it seems like Christ has shut the door; like He's left you in the past.

Chorus

Then it's time to turn to Him. Jesus Christ will be your friend.

Then it's time to pray to Him. He'll stand by until the end.

Instrumental Verse

Chorus

Then it's time to turn to Him. Jesus Christ will be your friend.

Then it's time to pray to Him. He'll stand by until the end.

Alternate Chorus

His arms are open wide, beckoning you to come inside.

He's not wanting anyone lost; He came to Earth to pay the cost.

…the cost of our sin.

Verse 3

You've finally come this far and you still don't know where you are.

It's time to start all over again. Maybe you didn't really let Him in.

Chorus

Then it's time to turn to Him. Jesus Christ will be your friend.

Then it's time to pray to Him. He'll stand by until the end.

Alternate Chorus

His arms are open wide, beckoning you to come inside.

He's not wanting anyone lost; He came to Earth to pay the cost.

…the cost of our sin.

This world is a confusing place.

Don't give up on the race.

The only thing worse than finishing last

Is not finishing at all.
