I have returned to the God of my childhood To the same simple faith as a child I once knew Like a prodigal son I've longed for my loved ones For the comforts of home and the God I outgrew I have returned to the God of my childhood Bethlehem's Babe The prophet's Messiah He's Jesus to me Eternal Deity Praise His name I have returned I have returned to the God of my father The most God-like man a child could know Oh I just heard a shout from the angels in glory Praising the Lord a child has come home I have returned to the God of my father Creator of heaven and earth God of the universe He's Jesus to me Eternal Deity Praise His name I have returned I have returned to the Yahweh of Judah On my knees I did fall Where the wall now stands This lesson I've learned as I've worked my way homeward The Saviour of all is the comfort to man I have returned to the Father of Abraham The shepherd of Moses Who called Him the great I am He's Jesus to me Eternal Deity Praise His name I have returned I have returned to the God of my father Creator of heaven and earth God of the universe He's Jesus to me Eternal Deity Praise His name I have returned I have returned!
