Tell me what kind of God holds up the laws, still shows there's love in it? (C'mon)
This is the ultimate coveted covenant
This is a covenant

Every afternoon when the day's work was over and the sun was setting
The Father (Father) would go out on the front porch and watch down the road (Covenant)
Praying for His son, wanting His son to return (Covenant)
[Chorus 2]
I am the Lord, Your God
I am the Lord, Your God
Calling you to come back
Calling you to come back home
Calling you to come back, come back
Child, I am the, I am the Lord
I am the Lord, Your God
Calling you to come back

Come back, come back
Calling you to come back
Come back, come back, come back
Calling you to come back, come back
Come back, come back
Calling you to, calling you to come back
[Bridge]
'Cause I'm jealous for the whole thing
I can't bear to see you out on the streets
They can't love you like a Holy God
They just wanna see you fall away from Me, ayy
'Cause they don't want the best for you
They just wanna hold you down till they execute ya
Sin leads to the death of you
The demons want to beat you down till you're black and blue
I'm tryna set you free in Me
Gave you spirit, liberty
Grounded on identity
It's your destiny
Can't you see it's Me?
[Chorus 2]
I am the Lord, Your God
I am the Lord, Your God
Calling you to come back
Calling you to come back home
Calling you to come back, come back
Child, I am the, I am the Lord
I am the Lord, Your God
Calling you to come back
Calling you to come back home
Calling you to come back
[Verse 3]
Yeah, you been distant but I ain't never left ya (Yah)
Living like you ain't got a Father who protect ya
I'll take you back and erase all the refuse (Whoo)
I'll pay the ransom, I'll be the refuge (Okay)
I'll take your mess and I'll take your mess ups (Yeah)
Put it all behind like it never happened (Whoo)
I keep My kids like I keep My commitments
Keeping My kids 'cause the Kingdom is in 'em
[Bridge]
'Cause I'm jealous for the whole thing (Yo)
I can't bear to see you out on the streets (Yeah)
They can't love you like a Holy God (Huh)
They just wanna see you fall away from Me, ayy
