This song is timely in a few ways. It fits great in between the first 2 parts of the ‘Speak O Lord’ miniseries I already sent out and the last 2 parts that I plan to send out the next couple days. We need to return to God, no matter what we’ve done or what we’ve been through. The words of this song are how I would encourage those around me in both a physical and spiritual way. They are also a good picture of a genuine walk with Christ. There are no good reasons why someone who professes Christ wouldn’t want to return to Him, regardless of how bad or how many times we’ve stumbled. Please, consider these words carefully as you enjoy a masterpiece from Jason Upton.
When I’m lost
You are the finder
For every need
You’re the provider
When I doubt
You still believe in me
When I run
You always wait for me
Chorus
Return, Return
Oh, my soul
To your rest
To your home
Return, return
Oh, my soul
Never far away
Never on your own
Return
When I fall
You help me rise again
When I fail
You make me try again
In my weakness
You are sustaining me
When I forget
You keep reminding me
You transform me through the darkness
The chaos
And the pain
You transform me
Through the wilderness
When I can’t find my way
Running from the very part of me
That’s asking me to stay
You welcome me home to where I belong
