(Chorus)
Take me back, take me back dear Lord
To the place where I first received you.
Take me back, take me back dear Lord where I
First believed.
(Verse)
I feel that I'm so far from you Lord
But still I hear you calling me
Those simple things that I once knew,
Their memories are drawing me.
I must confess, Lord I've been blessed
But yet my soul's not satisfied.
Renew my faith, restore my joy
And dry my weeping eyes.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
I tried so hard
To make it all alone
I need your help
Just to make it home.
(Repeat Chorus)
This song uplift me every time I hear it. I remember singing this song as a young boy in the church choir. Now that I am going through some trials and tribulations, I have asked God to take me back to the place where I first received him and believed. I want my God to renew my faith and restore my joy. I love God with all my mind and soul and through it all I have learned to trust in him.
