|
It must have been the summer solstice |
|
When I first gave my heart to You |
|
The first day of a brand new season |
|
In a fevered passion for Your simple truth |
|
It was the longest I'd ever felt for anything |
|
And it gave my soul a song to sing. |
|
It must have been my adolescence |
|
That pulled me from my childlike faith |
|
But what I thought to be maturity |
|
Was just neglect that I tried to vindicate |
|
And I went drifting on the wind like the autumn leaves |
|
But when I fell I landed on my knees. |
|
So can You throw Your arms around me and walk me home |
|
I've wandered off way too far for way too long |
|
And standing broken in this wilderness of shame |
|
I have found my only strength is in your name |
|
Oh, Father please can You undo what I've done |
|
And get me back to square one. |
|
I never saw that blizzard coming |
|
Just woke up and ice was on the ground |
|
And there were times this beating heart of pride |
|
Was so stubborn it refused to make a sound |
|
But now I'm feeling so out of my element |
|
Frozen in the winter of my discontent. |
|
So can You throw Your arms around me and walk me home |
|
I've wandered off way too far for way too long |
|
And standing broken in this wilderness of shame |
|
I have found my only strength is in your name |
|
Oh, Father please can You undo what I've done |
|
And get me back to square one. |
|
And with the spring comes the thaw |
|
Melting my heart reviving all |
|
It comes full circle and then |
|
It's summer solstice again. |
|
So can You throw Your arms around me and walk me home |
|
I've wandered off way too far for way too long |
|
And standing broken in this wilderness of shame |
|
I have found my only strength is in your name |
|
Oh, Father please can You undo what I've done |
|
And get me back to square one. |
|
Back to the summer solstice. |
|
Take me back. |
|
I wanna go back... |
