How can you forgive me
when Ive 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
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 Ive gone too far
You tell me to come home
You love me still
and I know this is real.
And I am running back to You
I see Youre standing there for me
Your arms are open wide
and I dont have to cry no more
Youre standing there for me
and I am running back to You
Why did I go away
When I know I am no good
when Im on my own
You told me you could keep me
but Ive turned it away
Ive failed you so much now
I dont know what to say
Using the same excuse
That I am just a man
You tell me Youve been there
and show your nailed, scarred hands
So I can see
Now I know I am free
And I am running back to You
I see Youre standing there for me
Your arms are open wide
and I dont have to cry no more
Youre standing there for me
and I am running back to You
Why did I go away
When I know I am no good
I have taken advantage of Your love & grace
Forgive me Lord and take me home
Take me home
Im running to you Jesus
Please take me home
See, Ive been in this wrong way too long
and I cant do right anymore
Im tired of pain
and I dont like fear
but Lord I want to be more sincere
I never should have left Your side
return me to Your guiding light
Youre standing there for me
and Im running back to you
