Lyrics
TAKE ME BACK HOME
I have been searching for most of my life, for someone my heart could believe in.
I played my guitar in the dark smoky bars, singing every sad song that I could feel.
As the dance passed my by, I'd join in and try, to feel love down deep in my soul,
But the more that I'd try,the more I'd ache down inside,cause I needed so very much more.
CHORUS
And it was, help me Lord Jesus, I've fallen down low,
You're all I have left where else could I go?
You'll never forsake me or leave me alone.
This lost sheep is weary, take me back home.
But then I met You, what else could I do? But to give You my heart and my soul,
Releasing my fears, I gave You my tears, And I let You take full control.
But somehow I've strayed, I've gone my own way,
Now I'm afraid, I'm lost and alone. You know how I've tried,
and You know how I've cried, Won't You come and take me back home.
CHORUS
My past life it haunts me, the old man he taunts me,
Cause he just can't see what I believe in,
Though I see through his lies, Something hurts me inside,
And I know that my eyes show my pain,
So I call out again, Lord help me give in,
Remake me and mould me inside.
I'm ashamed of my pride, and I'm too tired to hide,
Won't You come and take me back home.
CHORUS
