|
How can you forgive me |
|
when I've often gone astray |
|
how can You think of me |
|
when I do things my way |
|
Turning my back from You |
|
the One who loved me first |
|
having my own desires |
|
renewing worldly thirst |
|
[Verse 2:] |
|
You told me You loved me |
|
and I should make up my mind |
|
You tell me come back now |
|
But I keep wasting time |
|
Feeling so very weak |
|
You say I can be strong |
|
I feel I've gone too far |
|
You tell me to come home |
|
You love me still |
|
and I know this is real. |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
And I am running back to You |
|
I see You're standing there for me |
|
Your arms are open wide |
|
and I don't have to cry no more |
|
You're standing there for me |
|
and I am running back to You |
|
Why did I go away |
|
When I know I am no good |
|
when I'm on my own |
|
[Verse 3:] |
|
You told me you could keep me |
|
but I've turned it away |
|
I've failed you so much now |
|
I don't know what to say |
|
Using the same excuse |
|
That I am just a man |
|
You tell me You've been there |
|
and show your nailed, scarred hands |
|
So I can see |
|
Now I know I am free |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
And I am running back to You |
|
I see You're standing there for me |
|
Your arms are open wide |
|
and I don't have to cry no more |
|
You're standing there for me |
|
and I am running back to You |
|
Why did I go away |
|
When I know I am no good |
|
[Bridge:] |
|
I have taken advantage of Your love & grace |
|
Forgive me Lord and take me home |
|
Take me home |
|
[Tag:] |
|
I'm running to you Jesus |
|
Please take me home |
|
See, I've been in this wrong way too long |
|
and I can't do right anymore |
|
I'm tired of pain |
|
and I don't like fear |
|
but Lord I want to be more sincere |
|
I never should have left Your side |
|
return me to Your guiding light |
|
You're standing there for me |
|
and I'm running back to you |
