Running Back To You Lyrics

Running Back To You



[Verse 1:]

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



[Verse 2:]

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 to come home



You love me still

and I know this is real.



[Chorus:]

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 did I go away

When I know I am no good

when I'm on my own



[Verse 3:]

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 excuse 

That I am just a man

You tell me You've been there

and show your nailed, scarred hands

So I can see

Now I know I am free



[Chorus:]

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 did I go away

When I know I am no good



[Bridge:]

I have taken advantage of Your love & grace

Forgive me Lord and take me home

Take me home



[Tag:]

I'm running to you Jesus

Please take me home

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

You're standing there for me

and I'm running back to you
