Way Back To You

[Verse 1]
Hands on this wheel
But my heart’s off the road
Took every wrong turn
‘Til I ran out of “I don’t know”
Your picture on the dash
Dust on your name
I been chasing every back road
Just to circle back to my shame
[Chorus]
Oh God, I am begging You
Please show me the way back to You
I been lost, I been proud
I been crying out loud
In this small town pew
Oh God, I am begging You
Please show me the way back to You
If there’s still a light
On the porch of Your truth
Oh God, I am begging You
Way back to You
[Verse 2]
I drank through the silence
I lied through my teeth
Said I didn’t need You
While the floor dropped under my feet
Mama’s old Bible
Still stays by my bed
But it’s been a long, long time
Since I believed what it said
[Chorus]
Oh God, I am begging You
Please show me the way back to You
I been wrong, I’ve been wild
I’m Your prodigal child
With these busted boots
Oh God, I am begging You
Please show me the way back to You
If there’s still a seat
In the last church pew
Oh God, I am begging You
Way back to You
[Bridge]
If grace is a river
Let it rise to my knees (yeah)
If mercy’s a whisper
Let it roar over me
I’m done running circles
Done hiding the truth
I don’t want a new road
I just want You
[Chorus]
Oh God, I am begging You
Please show me the way back to You
Take this heart, take this fight
Lead me home tonight
To a love I once knew
Oh God, I am begging You
Please show me the way back to You
If Your arms still reach
Through all I’ve been through
Oh God, I am begging You
Way back to You
