Turn Us, O God | Based on Psalm 80 (NLT) | Top Praise and Worship Songs #worship

"Turn Us, O God" was born out of a desire to capture the desperate plea for renewal found in Psalm 80. This song reflects a community’s longing for God’s intervention, emphasizing the need for revival and restoration in the face of spiritual drought and suffering. We sought to translate the emotional weight of the psalm into music that is stirring.

The creative process began with a careful reading of Psalm 80, focusing on its themes of God’s shepherding care, the vulnerability of His people, and the need for His guidance. We wanted to generate a worship song that would resonate deeply with listeners, encouraging them to turn back to God with heartfelt prayers for renewal and healing. The musical arrangement includes a blend of ethereal synths, powerful acoustic instrumentation, and heartfelt vocal harmonies, designed to evoke a sense of longing and hope.

Generating this song was an emotional journey, capturing the essence of Psalm 80’s plea for God’s intervention. The vocals convey a sense of desperation and trust in God’s ability to turn things around. The creation process was marked by moments of silence and reflection, allowing us to focus on the intention behind the song—asking God to restore His people and turn their hearts back to Him.

"Turn Us, O God" is a song for anyone experiencing a season of spiritual dryness, reminding them that God is near and desires to bring renewal to His people. It’s a call to worship, urging believers to trust in God’s faithfulness and to seek His guidance with expectant hearts.

Psalm 80
For the choir director: A psalm of Asaph, to be sung to the tune “Lilies of the Covenant.”

1
Please listen, O Shepherd of Israel,
you who lead Joseph’s descendants like a flock.
O God, enthroned above the cherubim,
display your radiant glory
2
to Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh.
Show us your mighty power.
Come to rescue us!

3
Turn us again to yourself, O God.
Make your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved.
4
O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies,
how long will you be angry with our prayers?
5
You have fed us with sorrow
and made us drink tears by the bucketful.
6
You have made us the scorn[a] of neighboring nations.
Our enemies treat us as a joke.

7
Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies.
Make your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved.
8
You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine;
you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land.
9
You cleared the ground for us,
and we took root and filled the land.
10
Our shade covered the mountains;
our branches covered the mighty cedars.
11
We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea;
our shoots spread east to the Euphrates River.[b]
12
But now, why have you broken down our walls
so that all who pass by may steal our fruit?
13
The wild boar from the forest devours it,
and the wild animals feed on it.

14
Come back, we beg you, O God of Heaven’s Armies.
Look down from heaven and see our plight.
Take care of this grapevine
15
that you yourself have planted,
this son you have raised for yourself.
16
For we are chopped up and burned by our enemies.
May they perish at the sight of your frown.
17
Strengthen the man you love,
the son of your choice.
18
Then we will never abandon you again.
Revive us so we can call on your name once more.

19
Turn us again to yourself, O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies.
Make your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved.
