He'll Take You Back, Always.
I'll Take You Back -Jeremy Camp

It seemed like just yesterday, when you were standing beside me.
Your smile resides in my head, what a joy like I've never seen, shine from within your heart.
Wasn't it just yesterday, you came up to me with a mouth full of dreams and a heart full of hope; you told me all you wanted to do, and all you wanted to become ever since you've welcomed His grace into your life.

Yes it felt like only yesterday, we spoke and laughed.
Talked about things of His kingdom, chatted about the other things of life.
It was an unspeakable joy watching you grow and learn each day.
Didn't it all felt like only yesterday?

You laughed, you cried.
You struggled, you fought.
You fell, and stood up again.

Why? On the narrow road, do I only see your beautiful footprints of joy
Why? On the narrow road, do I only sniff a trace of your hopeful scent
Have you lost your way?
Have you given up?
Have you decided you're turning around and walking the other way?
Have you seen, He's still watching over you.

He has seen you bury your cries in the darkest of night, those other times when you went to bed with a million questions on your mind: Why does your heart hurt with every thump and your mind feel the like-state of a whirlwind?

He stands at the entrance of that familiar door, that door you've once known.
Behind those doors, you've once danced to a freedom song and hum the tune of His favourite love song. Where you tumbled upon your first babysteps, muttered your first few words.

That familiar door that you know.
That familiar house you loved.
There He waits.
There He stands.
From dawn to dawn, He watch and waits.
A longing that day that you find your way home.
Awaiting that day that He'll be able to wrap His arms around you again, whisper to you 'my child, everything is okay now'

He wants you to know,
You've not gone too far. Nowhere is too far for His hands to reach you.
You've not fallen too hard. No fall is too hard that He can't lift you up again.
He wants you to know,
He still loves you.
And He'll will take you back, always.

So will you come home today, and come home running into His embrace?
Come home running, cause His arms are still open wide for you.
