Take Me Back

I've ran far away

I've given up everything

I've trashed Your name

but You still save me.

 

I'm a sinner of the worst kind

I've lived a life of shame

But still You say "You are Mine."

Even after I wanted to throw it all away...

 

You take me back

No matter how broken I've become

You take me back,

and helped me grow from the man that I once was.

You take me back

Even though I trashed Your holy name.

And there's nothing I can do to repay you,

But thank You.

 

I've fallen so far off of the path

I gave up everything for something that was nothing

I didn't think that I would ever make it back.

But still You say that I mean something...

 

And You take me back

No matter how broken I've become

You take me back,

and helped me grow from the man that I once was.

You take me back

Even though I trashed Your holy name.

And there's nothing I can do to repay you,

But thank You.

 

I gave it all up

Everything

To live a life that was nothing but a sinful dream.

I walked away

I thought You'd never want me again,

but instead Your blood washed away my sin...

 

You take me back

No matter how broken I've become

You take me back,

and helped me grow from the man that I once was.

You take me back

Even though I trashed Your holy name.

And there's nothing I can do to repay you,

But thank You.

So I thank You...Jesus.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I am so thankful for where I am at right now. I feared that God had abandoned me, but I was wrong. There are so many parts of me that I am ashamed of, but Christ meets you where you are. No matter what. He comes to you. All you have to do is ask and believe. He came back to me even after I thought I'd left Him behind one too many times. Lesson learned.
