Why did I go away when I know I am no good, when I'm on my own?
You're standing there for me and I am running back to You
I'm running to You Jesus please take me home
Your arms are open wide and I don't have to cry no more
And I am running back to You, I see You're standing there for me
You're standing there for me and I am running back to You
And I am running back to You, I see You're standing there for me
Forgive me Lord and take me home take me home
I'm tired of pain and I don't like fear but Lord I want to be more sincere
You tell me You've been there and show Your nailed, scarred hands
I am running back to You, I see You're standing there for me
Using the same excuse that I am just a man
Why did I go away when I know I am no good
You told me You loved me and I should make up my mind
Feeling so very weak You say I can be strong
See, I've been in this wrong way too long and I can't do right anymore
Having my own desires renewing worldly thirst
I have taken advantage of Your love and grace
Why did I go away when I know I am no good?
You told me You could keep me but I've turned it away
Your arms are open wide and I don't have to cry no more
I feel I've gone too far You tell me to come home
Turning my back from You the one who loved me first
You tell me come back now but I keep wasting time
You're standing there for me and I am running back to You
Your arms are open wide and I don't have to cry no more
So I can see now I know I am free
You love me still and I know this is real
Your arms are open wide and I don't have to cry no more
I've failed You so much now I don't know what to say
You're standing there for me and I am running back to You
I am running back to You, I see You're standing there for me
I never should have left Your side return me to Your guiding light
