Messed up again for the hundredth time
Instinctively on the run, I hide
Myself removed from your presence I've
Infected myself with sin and pride

But a whisper in the air calls to me
With words that I have heard before, sayin'
I've made you mine, and I have made you righteous
Seek child, and you will find the door

When the darkness came surrounding me
That's when You found me
Bringing me back to Your shores
Back to everything so sacred
Father, I'm not forsaken
For Your arms are an open door
That will always lead me back to my home

And to myself I thought deep within
You wouldn't be able to stand lookin' at me
Oh, how disappointed you must be in
This child wallowing in suffering

But a whisper in the air calls to me
With words that were spoken in time, sayin'
Spend time with me, and I know you'll be changed for
Sealed with these words, child, you are mine

When the darkness came surrounding me
That's when You found me
Bringing me back to Your shores
Back to everything so sacred
Father, I'm not forsaken
For Your arms are an open door
That will always lead me back to my home

And it's all that will keep me from
Falling from grace, You are
A beacon shining in my dark nights
Ever patient, ever waiting

When the darkness came surrounding me
That's when you found me
Bringing me back to Your shores
Back to everything so sacred

Father, I'm not forsaken
For Your arms are an open door
When the darkness came surrounding me
That's when You found me

Bringing me back to my home
Bring me back to your shores
Bring me back to your shores
