(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
