Come Back

~

You used to sing songs that lift up the name of God 

Come back 

You used to lead the church to worship God 

Come back 

You used to witness and lead others to Christ 

Come back 

Teaching Sunday school and Bible school for most of your life 

Come back 

~

Lifting up His name in spiritual songs 

You stood on the pulpit, praising God 

Admonishing us to walk the straight and narrow 

You held our hands and prayed for us 

Now this God you talked about 

You’ve spiritually distanced yourself from 

To dabble in the world, dabble in sin 

Remember when you said, “To live is Christ, to die is gain?” 

~

You took a step backward 

When you stopped living for Him 

You lost wisdom 

When you stopped respecting His name 

~

You heaped up pleasures 

Seemingly unaware 

That their consequences would last 

Many times longer than them 

~

Remember what you used to say, 

“We ain’t nothing, without His grace?” 

After all your toil you give up now? 

Lose your reward and reject the Father’s love? 

~

Come back home 

He’s waiting for you 

To run into His arms again 

~

You can’t make it on your own 

Don’t be left with a bitter, miserable soul 

Remember where you fell from 

And again, desire to be in His House 

~

You don’t know if they’ll forgive you 

But come back 

You don’t know what they’ll think 

But come back 

You do know He’s forgiven you 

So, come back 

And you do know there’s work to be done 

So, come back 

~

Come back home…
