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
