Heather Headley - Running Back To You Lyrics






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 my worldly thirst

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

And I am running back to You, I see You're standing there for me
Your arms are opened wide and I don't have to cry no more
You're standing there for me and I am running back to You
Why do I go away when I know I am no good when I'm on my own?

You told me You could keep me but I've turned it away
I failed You so much now I don't know what to say
Using the same excuse that I'm only human
But You tell me You have been there
And hold your nail scarred hands so I can see
Now I know I am free

'Cause You're standing there for me and I am running back to You
Why do I go away when I know I am no good?
I have taken advantage of Your love and grace
Forgive me Lord and take me back home, take me back home

'Cause I'm running to You, Jesus please take me home
You see I'm tired of pain and I don't like fear
But Lord, I gotta be more sincere

And I am running back to You, I see You're standing there for me
Your arms are opened wide and I don't have to cry no more
You're standing there for me and I am running back to You
I never should have left Your side, no, no
Return me to Your guiding light, return me to Your guiding light

    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
    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
    And I am running back to you
    I see you're standing there for me
    Your arms are opened wide
    And I don't have to cry no more
    You're standing there for me
    And I am running back to you,
    Why do I go away when I know I am no good when I'm on my own.
    You told me you could keep me, but I've turned it away
    I 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 hold your nail scarred hands so I can see
    Now I know I am free
    You're standing there for me and I am running back to you,
    Why do I go away when I know I am no good when I'm on my own.
    I have taken advantage of your love and grace
    Forgive me Lord and take me home, take me home.
    I'm running to you Jesus please take me home,
    You see I'm tired of pain and I don't like fear but Lord I want to be more sincere.
    And I am running back to you
    I see you're standing there for me
    Your arms are opened wide
    And I don't have to cry no more
    You're standing there for me
    And I am running back to you,
    I never should have left your side
    Return me to your guiding light

    This song is real and honest. It remind you of how genuine and sincere if the love God has for his children. God will never leave us, we allow our sins push us away from him. We have to stop taking his loving grace and mercy for granted.
