6 months straight I could hear you callin Now Im on my way to the altar and the tears keep fallin Hit the front and collapse, thinkin back I was so strong Now Ive been gone so long, where did I go wrong I was walkin up right, testifyin of Christ Shinin my light, every day I would read and pray To be saved I was so proud But compromisin on this got me hangin wit my old crowd Thinkin chillin wit the homies wouldnt hurt Now they got me back in clubs and Im missin church Flirt, flesh gots me gettin at these girls again Forgot the Cross, now Im lost in the world of sin I tried to play it off, like I still had a grip Had everybody fooled not knowin I tripped But I couldnt fool myself, its was time for repentin and prayin Cause deep in my heart I heard Christ sayin
[Chorus] Backslider come back home Believe me, you've gone to close Jesus still loves me strong Backslider to come back home
Walkin in the world wit out no relief And you're full of grief cause you been robbed by the thief God is sayin, its time to come back child But Satan will condem you and make you feel exiled But I know the story bout the prodigal son And the Bible is true, and I know cause I was one I read Luke 15 and started for my crown There's many parables about the lost and the found Now you might be the son that journeyed from home For some appearened reason you decided to roam But you found you were walkin in the danger zone Til suddenly you realized it was nothin like home Feelin you can't come back its too late, that's just pride Cause standin in the way is like suicide Its time to come back and return to the Lord Get cleaned up, delievered and restored Its time to come home
[Chorus]
The Spirits alienated and the feelin ain't there You fell by the way side and nobody cares The other hand is full of blood, guilt But to take away your sin is why His blood spilt You walk around wit a complex, all day Everyday, but hey, I heard Pual say Forget the things that are behind me, is what he said Impress on foward to things that are ahead In Revelations 2:4, words wont budge God is sayin, come back to your first love Come back home child to hug you again Is my desire, cause God is married to the backslider He never left you, but you left Him What profit is a man to gain sin and lose his soul See everything that glitters ain't gold And that would be the range cause nothin is equals to your soul Man exchange, so come back home Cause you're a lost sheep and the wolf is on the roam Forget your own life, lose it for Christ Please don't look back, no don't be like Lot's wife [Chorus]
