You try to fill the void in your heart
With what the world has to give
But in the end, it tears you apart
Living the way that you live
And there in the darkness you try to hide
But you’re the only one believing your lies
Won’t you come back to My arms
They’re open and waiting for you
Won’t you turn back to My love
And trade in your lies for the truth
No matter how far you’ve run
I am still here
Ready to welcome you home
So won’t you come
Come back to My arms
When will you just reach out for My hand
How many times must you fall
You pretend that you don’t understand
But I know you hear Me call
There in the dark you live inside your lies
But there is nowhere for you to hide
Won’t you come back to My arms
They’re open and waiting for you
Won’t you turn back to My love
And trade in your lies for the truth
No matter how far you’ve run
I am still here
Ready to welcome you home
So won’t you come
Come back to My arms
I know everything you’ve done
And still I love you
Look at My nail scarred hands
And there you’ll find the truth
For I have nothing left to prove
Won’t you come back to My arms
They’re open and waiting for you
Won’t you turn back to My love
And trade in your lies for the truth
No matter how far you’ve run
I am still here
Ready to welcome you home
So won’t you come
Come back to My arms
