My Book's Still Turning

I'm on chapter forty-five of my book

And boy oh boy

There's been some times I wanted that book to end

Some pages were heavy

Some were holy

And some I almost couldn't turn

I've seen joy, I've seen pain

Lost some folks I'll never see again

Heard a friend's story stop mid-line

Made me hold my own pages tight that night

There were days I begged the Lord, let this chapter close

Too tired to read, too tired to grow

But mercy came in the morning's light

Said, son, your story ain't done tonight

My book's still turning, Lord, I'm still learning

Every scar, every tear, they still burning

But I keep the faith, no matter the year

'Cause I know the Author still hold me near

Some pages filled with laughter loud

Some with storms I barely made it out

But when I thought my story was done

He wrote a new chapter called overcome

Now I walk with peace in my chest

Don't know the ending, but I trust the rest

'Cause the pen ain't mine, it's in God's hand

He wrote my story before time began

My book's still turning, through the fire and through the yearning

I been broke, I been down, but I'm still standing

My book ain't over, I'm still commanding

I used to fear what came next

Afraid of the pain, afraid of the loss

But now I know every page got a purpose

Even the tears, even the silence

It's all part of the Author's plan

My book's still turning, hallelujah I'm learning

Some pages hurt, but my soul keep yearning

I don't need to know how it all will end

Long as I know who holds the pen

So if you're reading your life right now

And that chapter feels too hard to face

Just remember, your book's already written

Keep turning them pages

Your story ain't done yet
