I can remember
How I felt that very first day
Lord, I remember
All the words You heard me say
I was a man in love with You
All that I ever wanted to do
Was fill my heart with Your holy Word
Love You as my Lord

Take me back, oh, take me back
To the way it was before

I can still hear the songs
You gave me in the night
To keep me from all the wrongs
Too strong for me to right
There was so much to understand
I knew I was weak, but I felt Your hand
Leading me to the raging winds
'Til You calmed the storm

Take me back, oh, take me back
To the way it was before

'Cause I don't ever want to be found a man
Unfaithful to Your Word, Lord
But I'm afraid that if You would
Call me now to come home
You would be only a stranger in my heart
I can remember
When you held me in Your arms
To carry me on the wind
Away from every harm
I was a man in love with You
All that I ever wanted to do
Was feel my heart with Your holy Word
Love You as my Lord

Take me back, oh, take me back
To the way it was before

'Cause I don't ever want to be found a man
Unfaithful to Your Word, Lord
I'm afraid that if You would
Call me now to come home
You would be only a stranger in my heart

Take me back, oh, take me back
To the way it was before
Take me back, oh, take me back
To the way it was before
Take me back, oh, take me back
To the way it was before
