Return to Me

By: Zach Thompson

Verse 1

In ourselves, we hide our weakness
In ourselves, we deny our sin
In ourselves, we can't be worthy
And in Your righteousness, You could condemn

Verse 2

In our flesh, we love the darkness
In our flesh, we cannot see
In our flesh, we trust our own strength
But in Your love, You're still calling

Chorus

Yet even now, return to Me
With all your heart
With fasting and weeping
And rend your hearts and not your garments
For godly grief produces repentance
And return to the Lord your God,
For He is gracious and merciful
Slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love
He will relent

Verse 3

In our sin, we love what's fleeting
In our sin, we ignore what's true
In our sin, we court destruction
In Your justice, You'll give what is due

Verse 4

In our shame, we think we're hopeless
In our shame, we don't look to You
In our shame, we'll lie to please men
In Your mercy, You call us to You

Chorus

Yet even now, return to Me
With all your heart
With fasting and weeping
And rend your hearts and not your garments
For godly grief produces repentance
And return to the Lord your God,
For He is gracious and merciful
Slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love

Bridge

In Christ, we're made new creations
Our flesh, sin, and shame crucified
By grace, we've been reconciled
To the God who see our crimes
Day by day, He still invites

Chorus

Yet even now, return to Me
With all your heart
With fasting and weeping
And rend your hearts and not your garments
For godly grief produces repentance
And return to the Lord your God,
For He is gracious and merciful
Slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love
He will relent
