Come Let Us Return

I’m so afraid that I’ll stay this way.
I’ll grow old and cold and hard, never heeding the Lord.
I’m so afraid that I will be like a flower in the wind
Or a ship capsized at sea.

But wait! Is there room for any fear at all
When I have a Father much greater than this all?

Come, let us return to the Lord.
Come, let us return to the Lord.
For we have held him at a distance for far too long.
So come, let us return to the Lord.

You beat your head against the wall.
For the hundredth time,
You’ve done everything you could do wrong
And you see yourself as a hopeless cause.
Hang your head in shame with guilt.
Oh, You’re feeling the loss.

But now, with His love,
He is reaching for your hand.
Like the father of the prodigal,
You see Him running hard after you.

Come, let us return to the Lord.
Come, let us return to the Lord.
For we have held him at a distance for far too long.
So come, let us return to the Lord.

He gave His life. What more could He give?
Oh, how He loves you.
Oh, how He loves me.
Oh, how He loves you and me.

Come, let us return to the Lord.
Come, let us return to the Lord.
For we have held him at a distance for far too long.
So come, let us return to the Lord.

So come, let us return.
Let us return.
Let us return to the Lord.
