about

I remember sitting on my bed, living at my parent’s house again after the divorce, bawling my eyes out. I had no idea what to do next. I didn’t know what to ask for and I didn’t know if I believed that my prayers would be answered anyway. So I just prayed for God to make me aware of His presence: Bring Me Back to You.

There was no magic answer, and it was many years before I felt the fullness of the presence of God again, but writing this song brought and still brings me comfort - God speaking to and comforting my tender heart through the song itself.

lyrics

Tears stream down my face as I kneel down to pray
I’m humbled in this place and I don’t know what to say
I’m wanting to blame You, Lord for not making things right
But in my heart I know that you’re the God who gives life

Dear God I’ve lost my way so many times before
It seems I’m losing faith about what you’ve got in store
And I find it hard to pray about the things my heart desires
So I make my prayer simple as this:
God, bring me back to You

I thought I knew You, I went to You with everything that was on my mind
But these songs about unanswered prayers made prayer seem like a waste of time
Why does it matter if nothing ever changes
But trying to live without You, God is just too hard to manage

Dear God I’ve lost my way so many times before
It seems I’m losing faith about what you’ve got in store
And I find it hard to pray about the things my heart desires
So I make my prayer simple as this:
God, bring me back to You

I wanna bargain, “Lord, give it to me so I know You’re there”
But a part of me feels like You don’t even care
Still deep within me I know it isn’t true
What it is I really need is:
Bring me back to You

Dear God I’ve lost my way so many times before
It seems I’m losing faith about what you’ve got in store
And I find it hard to pray about the things my heart desires
So I make my prayer simple as this:
God, bring me back to You
