RETURN TO ME

When the pressures of life's journey close the walls around your heart,
When your prayers all go unanswered and you don't know where to start,
When dark clouds block the sunshine, you know you've lost your way,
Turn Around! There is hope! You can hear the Father say;

"Return to Me, there is no other! Return to me for I AM GOD!
I have wiped out your transgressions.
I have washed away your sin.
I have redeemed you. Return to me!

When you passed through raging waters, I was by your side.
When you walked through the fire, I did not let you burn.
When you fell beneath the weight of the cross you had to bear,
When you thought you were abandoned, I was standing there!

Return to Me, there is no other! Return to me for I AM GOD!
I have wiped out your transgressions.
I have washed away your sin.
I have redeemed you. Return to me!"
