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, "Do 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 open 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 have been there And hold your nail Scarred hand So I can see Now I know I am free And I am running back to you I see Youre 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...? 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've been in this wrong way too long And I can't do right anymore I'm tired of pain and I don't like fear But Lord I want to be more sincere I never should have left your side Return me to your guiding light I'm running back to You I see you standing there for me...

(Come running back) If you find your new love isn't what you thought it would be If your nights are lonely now and you need more sympathy Baby, come running back to me Come running back to me Back to the arms that long to hold you forever and ever If you find his lips don't thrill you like mine used to do And you see me smiling at you when he's holding you Baby, come running back to me Come running back to me Back to the arms that long to hold you forever and ever If you realize that you were wrong to say goodbye Don't allow your foolish pride to let true love go by Baby, come running back to me Come running back to me Back to the arms that long to hold your forever and ever my love Come running back (Come running back) Come running back (Come running back) Come running back
