When I stumble down the wrong and weary road,
My heart grows heavy under sin’s old load,
But a voice keeps whisperin’ soft and clear,
“Turn back, my child, I’m always near.”
Like Israel lost on a distant plain,
They cried for comfort through years of pain,
Jehovah heard their trembling plea,
And brought them back with tender mercy.
Chorus
Oh, turn back and live, let your tears wash away,
Jehovah’s arms are open today.
His love’s still calling through all we’ve done,
Forgiving hearts through Christ His Son.
He sent His prophets, line by line,
To call His people, “Your hearts refine,”
With patience deep as the ocean’s tide,
He waited long—He never denied.
Like Gomer’s tears when love returned,
Grace was given where trust had burned,
Through faithful Hosea, His truth was shown,
Jehovah won back hearts once stone.
Oh, turn back and live, let your tears wash away,
Jehovah’s arms are open today.
His love’s still calling through all we’ve done,
Forgiving hearts through Christ His Son.
To Cain He reasoned, gently spoke,
Before the anger fully broke,
He warned him, “Sin waits by your door,
But choose what’s right, come back once more.”
David fell to a heavy choice,
But mercy found him — he heard God’s voice,
Through Nathan’s words his heart was stirred,
Forgiven again by Jehovah’s word.
Oh, turn back and live, let your tears wash away,
Jehovah’s arms are open today.
His love’s still calling through all we’ve done,
Forgiving hearts through Christ His Son.
The lost son wandered far from home,
Chased the wind till his joy was gone,
But his father ran with arms so wide,
Love restored what pride denied.
Peter wept when the rooster cried,
But Jesus met him with love inside,
“Feed my sheep,” he heard Him say,
Forgiven again in a brand-new way.
Oh, turn back and live, let your tears wash away,
Jehovah’s arms are open today.
His love’s still calling through all we’ve done,
Forgiving hearts through Christ His Son.
Saul once fought what he didn’t see,
Till a light from heaven set him free,
Changed his heart, gave him new sight,
From darkness deep to truth’s pure light.
Now every heart with guilt or stain,
Can turn to God and hope again,
Repentance opens mercy’s door,
And joy returns forevermore.
Oh, turn back and live, let your tears wash away,
Jehovah’s arms are open today.
His love’s still calling through all we’ve done,
Forgiving hearts through Christ His Son.
He doesn’t take pleasure when the sinner falls,
But waits with patience through it all,
One step back, His grace begins —
He turns our sorrow into cleansing within.
Oh, turn back and live, let your tears wash away,
Jehovah’s arms are open today.
His love’s still calling through all we’ve done,
Forgiving hearts through Christ His Son.
Oh, turn back and live, let your tears wash away,
Jehovah’s arms are open today.
His love’s still calling through all we’ve done,
Forgiving hearts through Christ His Son.
Forgiving hearts through Christ His Son.
