Every Time I Turn Around

I am Judas, the betrayer
I turn my back upon you every day
But when I come to you in prayer
You open up your arms and bid me stay
You're always there to catch me when I fall
You're always there to see me through it all
 
Every time I turn around you're standing right behind me
Every time I try to run away you always find me
After all my broken promises and bridges that I burn
You're still there every time I turn around
 
I am Thomas, always doubting
Why do I find it so hard to believe
And even when the proof is shouting
The truth is sometimes so hard to conceive
But your patience and compassion tell me true
I see it every time I look at you
 
I am Peter and Matthew and Simon and James
And the rest of your unruly band
I am trying to follow, but scared just the same
'Cause there's so much I don't understand
How the love still pours from your hand
