I concede that this is a rather odd song! A big contrast in styles is evident here, in order to express the awful pain of His death and degradation on the cross as expressed in the verses, and the resulting hope which that very act gives us, and the chance we therefore have to turn away from our past lives to a life of relationship with the Risen One.

Come feel my hands and feet -
Come see what your sin did to me.
Come, now it’s done once and for all,
Receive me – hear my call….

And turn away
From the path that winds away from me.
Don’t be afraid of today,
I will always be beside you.
I am calling you; will you ask me
To come and dwell within your heart?
Turn away.

Rejected - watched by those who came to see.
Degraded – they took my clothes from me.
Crucified into a lonely grave.
Sacrificed; your life to save.

And turn away
From the path that winds away from me.
Don’t be afraid of today,
I will always be beside you.
I am calling you; will you ask me
To come and dwell within your heart?
Turn away.
