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
