Take Me Back Lyrics

I see all the suffering
but I, I don't feel no pain,
and it's eating me up inside
because I know my death is gain.
Well, I'll be a worldly man
if I'm a man at all.
Oh, I wanna do your will, Lord,
but I'm so afraid to fall.
Last night I was out on the street
and it was cold and wet
in a city unknown to me
oh God, I was scared to death.
I know You were me then,
but was I with You?
Oh, I thank you, Lord
for the things that You do.

Oh, take me back, take me back.
I don't wanna be in this place.
I wanna be back to the way things were
when I could stand to see Your face.
Make me strong,
strong enough to keep this in.
Oh God, and teach me to love again.
And I can do all these other things
just as long as you gimme Your Love.
I saw a friend the other day,
but it wasn't good.
He had that look on his face
and I understood.
Cause, man, I been there,
more times than one,
and I know how you get that kind of look.
I know it ain't no fun.
And it always takes way to long
for my soul to crack.
And I end up on my knees
screaming to the Lord,
the Lord to take me back.

Take me back
I don't wanna be in this place.
I wanna be back to the way things were
when I could stand to see Your face.
Make me strong,
strong enough to keep this in.
Oh God, and teach me to love again.
And I can do all these other things
just as long as you gimme Your Love.
