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 on You
The One who loved me first
Having my own des-ires
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 w-eak
You say I can be str-ong
I feel I’ve gone too f-ar
You tell me t-o, come h-ome
You love me st-ill
And I know this, is real
~Chorus~
And I am running back to You
I see You’re standing there for m-e
Your arms are o-pen wide
And I don’t have to cry no more
You’re standing there for me
And I am running back to Y-ou
Why do I g-o away
When I know I am no good
When I’m o-n my own
You told me, You could keep me
But I’ve turned it away
I’ve failed You, so much now
I don’t know what to say
Using the same exc-use
That I am just a m-an
You tell me You’ve been th-ere
And hold Your n-ailed scarred hands
So I can s-ee
Now I know I am free
~Chorus~
I have t-aken advantage of, Your l-ove a-nd grace
Forgive me L-ord, and t-ake me h-ome
Take me h-ome
I’m running to You Jes-us
Please take me h-ome
See I’ve been, in this wrong way too long
And I-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
