Lead Us Back To You
Finding Redemption: A Soulful Journey Through Pain and Unity
Lyrics
Well God, lately I've been noticing a whole lot of pain
Expressing awareness of significant pain in the world.
Going 'round us every day like we've forgotten Your name
Noticing pain as if people have forgotten about God.
Oh why is that when You're all we have?
Questioning why, when God is all they have, there is so much pain.
I'm getting tired of turning the TV on
Expressing fatigue with negative content on TV.
I'm flipping pages all I'm seeing is the need for love
Observing a need for love while reading or experiencing life.
So take us back, Lord, to follow You above all others
Desiring a return to following God above all else.
Lead us back to You
Requesting guidance to be led back to God.
Give us desire to pursue You
Seeking a renewed desire to pursue God.
Be the guiding Father lead us through the fire
Asking God to be the guiding Father through challenges.
Hold Your arms out open wide
Imagery of God's open arms and acceptance.
Shine Your light on the truth
Asking for God's light to illuminate the truth.
When we stray away
Acknowledging moments of straying away from God.
God, lead us back to You
Pleading for God to lead them back to Him.
God, help us to remember that we're all the same
Reminding that everyone is equal under God's name.
That we're all created equal under Your holy name
Emphasizing equality and shared creation under God.
Oh who would object that we would help our fellow man?
Advocating for helping fellow humans.
We put our hands on our hearts
Symbolic gesture of allegiance to "One nation under God."
We say "One nation under God"
Noting division that has separated people.
But division crept in splintered us apart
Calling for unity and strength to overcome division.
Lord, unite us together
Praying for unity and strength to carry on.
Give us strength to carry on, carry on
Requesting a return to God.
Back to You
Asking for a renewed desire to pursue God.
Give us desire to pursue You
Seeking God's guidance through challenges.
Be the guiding Father lead us through the fire
Imagining God's open arms and acceptance during difficulties.
Hold Your arms out open wide
Requesting God's light to shine on the truth.
Shine Your light on the truth
Acknowledging moments of straying and seeking God's guidance.
When we stray away
Pleading for God to lead them back to Him.
God, lead us back to You, oh
Reiterating the plea for God to lead them back.
Lord, forgive us of our youth
Seeking forgiveness for past actions in their youth.
We've done stuff we can't undo
Expressing remorse for irreversible actions.
We've said things that slander Your name
Acknowledging negative words spoken about God.
And we've mocked the truth
Recognizing moments of mocking the truth.
But Your love says it's alright
Embracing the idea that God's love forgives.
Your grace says there's still more time
Grateful for God's grace and the opportunity for redemption.
So let us honor You in all we do tonight
Committing to honor God in all actions tonight.
Lead us back to You
Repeating the request for God to lead them back.
Give us desire to pursue You
Desiring a renewed passion to pursue God.
Be the guiding Father lead us through the fire
Asking God to guide them through challenges.
Hold Your arms out open wide
Imagining God's open arms and acceptance during difficulties.
Shine Your light on the truth
Requesting God's light to shine on the truth.
When we stray away
Acknowledging moments of straying and seeking God's guidance.
God, lead us back to You
Pleading for God to lead them back to Him.
When we stray away
Reiterating the acknowledgment of straying away.
God, lead us back to You
Repeating the plea for God to lead them back.
