The Story Behind “God, Turn It Around” by Jon Reddick

The story behind “God, Turn It Around” by Jon Reddick.

Story behind the song “God, Turn It Around”:

“My prayer is that this song (which was literally a prayer I prayed to God for His people) continues to encourage others. I hope it continues to remind us that God is still at work in our lives no matter what obstacle seems to be in front of us.”

– Jon Reddick

“I remember the question coming up while we were writing, ‘Should we say God turn it around that main times?’ I was like, ‘I know, I know, it’s so many times. But for some reason, I feel like we are supposed to‘, and we didn’t know that we were writing something that would eventually be released during a moment of Covid. In a moment when people had a plea, and when you’re pleading to God, you’re not saying it once. Certain agonizing things have you at the feet of your Savior and King praying over and over again that you turn this thing around. So, that’s how this song was birthed.”

-Jon Reddick

Beginning lyrics and chorus to “God, Turn It Around”:

I'm praying, God come
And turn this thing around
God, turn it around
God, turn it around
God, turn it around

I'm calling on the name
That changes everything, yes
God, turn it around
God, turn it around
God, turn it around

All of my hope
Is in the name
The name of Jesus
Breakthrough will come
Come in the name
The name of Jesus
