[00:23.78]How can you forgive me when I've often gone astray
[00:33.10]How can you think of me when I do things my way
[00:41.55]Turning my back from you
[00:45.66]The one who loved me first
[00:50.33]Having my own desires
[00:54.52]Renewing worldly thirst
[00:58.89]
[01:00.16]You told me you loved me and I should make up my mind
[01:08.58]You tell me come back now, but I keep wasting time
[01:17.27]Feeling so very weak you say I can be strong
[01:25.90]I feel I've gone too far you tell me to come home
[01:36.69]You love me still and I know this is real
[01:42.98]
[01:43.91]And I am running back to you
[01:48.45]I see you’re standing there for me
[01:52.98]Your arms are opened wide
[01:57.42]And I don't have to cry no more
[02:02.60]You're standing there for me
[02:06.68]And I am running back to you,
[02:11.51]Why do I go away when
[02:16.25]I know I am no good when I'm on my own.
[02:26.32]
[02:29.40]You told me you could keep me,
[02:34.05]but I've turned it away
[02:38.38]I failed you so much now I don't know what to say
[02:46.61]Using the same excuse that I am just a man
[02:55.56]You tell me you've been there
[03:00.39]and hold your nail scarred hands so I can see
[03:09.66]Now I know I am free
[03:12.77]
[03:13.64]You're standing there for me
[03:18.30]and I am running back to you,
[03:22.93]Why do I go away
[03:27.84]when I know I am no good
[03:31.39]
[03:32.34]I have taken advantage of your love and grace
[03:41.58]Forgive me Lord and take me home, take me home.
[03:53.51]
[03:54.23]I'm running to you Jesus please take me home,
[04:03.53]You see I'm tired of pain and I don't like fear
[04:08.76]but Lord I want to be more sincere.
[04:12.93]And I am running back to you
[04:17.13]I see you’re standing there for me
[04:21.08]Your arms are opened wide
[04:25.71]And I don't have to cry no more
[04:30.93]You're standing there for me
[04:34.61]And I am running back to you,
[04:39.54]I never should have left your side
[04:44.38]Return me to your guiding light
[04:54.88]Return me to your guiding light
[05:16.45]

How can you forgive me when I've often gone astray
How can you think of me when I do things my way

I feel I've gone too far you tell me to come home
You love me still and I know this is real

I know I am no good when I'm on my own.
You told me you could keep me,
