Father it’s me who wandered away
With ambitions and plans to make my own way.
To take what I could and spend how I must
It all seemed so grand at the time….

What can I say, I’m so ashamed
If I turn back to You, would You turn me away.
But more than I hoped, You’re always so kind.
Won't You, take me back one more time….
Take me ….

Refrain:
Back to Your love
Back to Your grace
Back to Your hope and
Back to Your strength.
Back to what’s real and
Back to what’s true
…. Take me back to You.

Father forgive me, it’s been a long time
I can’t count all the sin that I’ve carried with me.
I’ve longed to return but I was afraid,
But You’re turning my sorrow to praise…
Turning me …

Refrain
…Turning me back to You

I feel Your touch, I feel Your call,
Father Your faithfulness permeates all.
The tug on my heart that I can’t deny,
You’ve been here by my side.
Leading me ….

Refrain
…Leading me back to You.

Bridge:
Give me the strength to live out in faith.
Sanctify me with Your love and Your grace
I will embrace what’s real and what’s true
I’m running back to You…
I’m running…
Refrain
…I’m running back to You.
