Chorus: Turn it around open the windows of Heaven pour out a blessing overflow turn it around open the windows of Heaven pour out a blessing we cannot contain let it rain let it rain
Vamp: You have turned my mourning to dancing you've turned my sorrow to joy you have turned my whole life around thank you thank you Lord
In the first verse of Israel & New Breed's song, Turn It Around, the lyrics tell of the omnipotence of God. The verse asserts that anything that needs to be done is possible for Him to accomplish, noting that nothing is too difficult for God. The singer communicates a willingness to receive favor, rain, and change from God, fully acknowledging that He is capable of making these things happen. It is a statement of faith in God's abilities and a desire to submit to His power.
In the chorus of the song, the singer calls on God to intervene and turn things around. The "windows of heaven" are a biblical reference, alluding to the story of Noah's Ark when God opened the windows of heaven and caused rain to fall. The singer asks God to "pour out a blessing" which is so abundant that it overflows. The blessing is so potent that the person cannot contain it. Interestingly, this call is not only for the singer, but for a group, making it a communal desire for God to intervene.
In the vamp, the singer expresses gratitude for the incredible transformation that God has brought to their life. The once mourning person now dances and the once sorrowful person now experiences joy. The entire life of the singer has indeed been turned around, and they express sincere appreciation to God for the change.
