[00:12.174]6 months straight I could hear you callin
[00:14.172]Now Im on my way to the altar and the tears keep fallin
[00:16.675]Hit the front and collapse, thinkin back I was so strong
[00:20.427]Now Ive been gone so long, where did I go wrong
[00:23.181]I was walkin up right, testifyin of Christ
[00:25.419]Shinin my light, every day I would read and pray
[00:27.927]To be saved I was so proud
[00:30.681]But compromisin on this got me hangin wit my old crowd
[00:34.429]Thinkin chillin wit the homies wouldnt hurt
[00:35.927]Now they got me back in clubs and Im missin church
[00:37.924]Flirt, flesh gots me gettin at these girls again
[00:40.420]Forgot the Cross, now Im lost in the world of sin
[00:43.672]I tried to play it off, like I still had a grip
[00:46.679]Had everybody fooled not knowin I tripped
[00:49.176]But I couldnt fool myself, its was time for repentin and prayin
[00:52.174]Cause deep in my heart I heard Christ sayin
[00:53.177]
[00:53.423][Chorus]
[00:54.421]Backslider come back home
[01:00.178]Believe me, you've gone to close
[01:04.674]Jesus still loves me strong
[01:11.676]Backslider to come back home
[01:12.674]
[01:15.681]Walkin in the world wit out no relief
[01:17.421]And you're full of grief cause you been robbed by the thief
[01:20.428]God is sayin, its time to come back child
[01:22.924]But Satan will condem you and make you feel exiled
[01:25.678]But I know the story bout the prodigal son
[01:28.673]And the Bible is true, and I know cause I was one
[01:31.680]I read Luke 15 and started for my crown
[01:34.175]There's many parables about the lost and the found
[01:36.926]Now you might be the son that journeyed from home
[01:39.754]For some appearened reason you decided to roam
[01:43.700]But you found you were walkin in the danger zone
[01:44.444]Til suddenly you realized it was nothin like home
[01:47.196]Feelin you can't come back its too late, that's just pride
[01:51.700]Cause standin in the way is like suicide
[01:53.442]Its time to come back and return to the Lord
[01:55.194]Get cleaned up, delievered and restored
[02:03.450]Its time to come home
[02:04.449]
[02:04.948][Chorus]
[02:05.948]
[02:29.303]The Spirits alienated and the feelin ain't there
[02:31.811]You fell by the way side and nobody cares
[02:35.305]The other hand is full of blood, guilt
[02:37.058]But to take away your sin is why His blood spilt
[02:39.312]You walk around wit a complex, all day
[02:41.562]Everyday, but hey, I heard Pual say
[02:45.257]Forget the things that are behind me, is what he said
[02:48.011]Impress on foward to things that are ahead
[02:50.760]In Revelations 2:4, words wont budge
[02:53.256]God is sayin, come back to your first love
[02:55.260]Come back home child to hug you again
[02:57.996]Is my desire, cause God is married to the backslider
[03:01.003]He never left you, but you left Him
[03:03.499]What profit is a man to gain sin and lose his soul
[03:06.748]See everything that glitters ain't gold
[03:08.745]And that would be the range cause nothin is equals to your soul
[03:11.752]Man exchange, so come back home
[03:13.995]Cause you're a lost sheep and the wolf is on the roam
[03:16.502]Forget your own life, lose it for Christ
[03:19.253]Please don't look back, no don't be like Lot's wife
[03:22.480][Chorus]
