Fred Hammond – Runing Back To You lyrics

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,
Seeking my own desires
Renewing worldy thirsts.

You told me you could keep me
But I 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 have been there
And hold your nail scarred hand
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
When I'm on my own

You told me you could keep me
But I 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 have been there
And hold your nail scarred hand
so I can see
Now I know I am free

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
I have taken advantage of your love and grace
Forgive me Lord and take me back home
Take me home

I'm running to you Jesus
Please take me home
You see I've been in the wrong way too long
And I can't endure anymore
I'm tired of pain and I don't like fear
Lord I want to be more sincere
I never should have left your side
Please take me to your guiding light

I am running back to you
and I see you're standing there for me
Your arms are open wide
And I don't have to cry anymore

Because I'm tired of pain and I don't like fear
Lord I want to be more sincere
I never should have left your side
Please take me to your guiding light
