GONE FOR AWHILE

Seeking more wealth and wanting more toys.

Makes God’s voice a static kind of noise.

Once in a while he manages to get through.

Putting into question what you think you knew.

As you ponder your answer your heart beats more and more.

If he created everything, what does he need me for?

Why does he want me? Why does he care?

I left my Lord after many years.

I didn’t think he would notice, or shed any tears.

I found my old friends and started hanging out.

But in my heart I couldn’t help but dought.

After a while, I stood back and took a long gaze.

Everyone looked like mice running around in a maze.

I ask myself, is this how I wanted to end up?

Should I go back to God, and accept his cup.

I got on my knees and prayed, can I come back now?

Come back to me give up your fight.

My yoke is easy and my burden is light.

My hands are open, I am calling your name.

Get serious about eternity, life isn’t a game.

Come back, come back, become mine again.

I am waiting to forgive all your sin.

But for now, stay on your knees sing your melody.

For all your repentance, is a sweet song to me.

You wandered away, alleluia you came back.

You used my power to break the enemies attack.

Welcome home it’s where you belong.

I wept and prayed while you were gone

Your back, your back.  You are mine again.

For I’m always bigger than your sin.

Now I spend time witnessing to the old gang.

I get laughed at a lot, but on Jesus I hang.

Go back to God, give up your fight..

His yoke is easy and his burden is light.

His hands are open, is he calling your name?

Get serious about eternity life isn’t a game.
