Steven Curtis Chapman's 'My Turn Now' is a contemporary Christian song about responding to God's sacrificial love by offering one's own life in return. The lyrics reflect on Christ's gift of love and life, and the singer's decision to surrender everything to follow Him. Drawing inspiration from biblical figures who faithfully followed God, the song emphasizes personal commitment and obedience. The chorus declares it's the singer's turn to give his life away, and the bridge expresses love for God and willingness to go wherever He leads. It's a heartfelt call to wholehearted devotion and service.

Well it's my turn now
My turn now
Hey, my turn to give my life away
I close the book and I shake my head
Sometimes I can't believe the things I've read
I don't deserve what He did for me
Hey, hey
He gave His love and His life away
And now He's asking me to do the same
So I'm gonna give Him all I am
And all I ever hope to be 'cause
[Chorus]
It's my turn now
Well it's my turn now
My turn to give my life away
I open up the book and look again
I read the stories of the faithful men
Who gave up all they had to follow Him
Yeah, yeah
He used the strong and He used the weak
He even gave the timid words to speak
He called whoever listened then
And now His call goes out again
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
My turn to say "I love Him"
My turn to let Him know
My life is His, so where He leads me that's where I will go
[Chorus Accapella]
