We see wave after wave of people in the street, playing their songs, but missing the beat,
People, oh people, why can't you understand?
Fools with no disguises and love so close at hand.
When will you begin to receive the love of God?
Jesus wants to touch you, enfold you with his love,
Look into your life and tell me what you see,
Don't you realise what he offers is for free?
A voice on the other end said, "Where in the world have you been?"
I said, "I've been all around, but I ain't seen a thing,"
I was lying in my bed, (lying in my bed)
Trying to arrange my head when a letter came in from him, saying I was dead,
It was signed in blood, it was mailed into my heart,
Though the channel was clear, I didn't want hear,
It made me worried, (worried) worried, (worried)
When you're out with the boys, walking paranoid, and all your toys make you discouraged,
It's really sad, you know, when you've nothing to show,
And there it reads, (there is reads) on the bottom line:
I love you, (I love you)
I love you, (I love you)
Awaiting your reply, (awaiting your reply)
Awaiting your reply.
Awaiting your reply.
Broken promises...broken by me and not by you,
Jesus, break me,
Lord, snap my stubborn heart in two,
Lonely hours, so many wasted talents that I've sown,
But now I'm ready to follow you, Jesus,
My dear Lord, I'm coming home.
Lord, I want you to change me, rearrange me,
Lord, I want you to mould me,
I just want you to hold me,
Sweet saviour, just love me,
Your thoughts are so high above me,
And I confess that I need you,
I really know that I need you,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I said, "Sign here please," and you inscribed your name in my heart,
Didn't know what I was getting into...or what was getting into me, for that matter,
A little slow to understand,
"Love" was the word I was after, so your name kept coming to my lips again and again, again and again,
Now I understand: he wanted the heart of the world,
You're his signature, the very stamp of his soul,
Spirit in the wind, agonies of the cross all told,
Signed in blood, signed in blood,
Ooh, yeah.
You saw me standing out in the street,
I was looking for some action, yeah, someone to meet,
There was holes in my pockets and a hole in my soul,
And a whole lot of questions about which way to go.
But you were born for love, born for life,
You were born for the city,
You died for love, died for life,
Died for the city,
And you're returning for love, returning for life,
Jesus, returning for the city.
