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
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, "Do come home..."
You love me still
And I know this is real
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 do I go away
When I know I am no good
When I'm on my own?
You told me, you could keep me
But I've turned it away
I 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 have been there
And hold your nail
Scarred hand
So I can see
Now I know I am free
And I am running back to you
I see You're standing there for me
Your arms are opened wide
And I don't have to cry no more
You're standing there for me
And I am running back to You
Why do I go away
When I know I am no good...?
I have taken advantage of your love and grace
Forgive me Lord and take me home
Take me home.
I'm running to you Jesus, please take me home
You 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
I'm running back to You
I see you standing there for me.
