Lyrics: Back To Jesus by Matthew West
I had my back to Jesus
Thought I knew a better way
But after all my wandering
I landed in place called shame
Yeah, I had my back to Jesus
I thought He had His back to me
But a sinner’s tears came falling down
When I turned around to see
You can make a million wrong turns
That lead you to a million dead ends
You can think your last bridge is burned
And there’s no going back home again
But no matter how far you are no one chases a heart like He does
You’re always only one step back to Jesus
The devil is a liar
Always whispering in your ear
And He’ll tell you after all this time
Grace won’t find you here
Oh but Jesus is a chaser
Who leaves the 99
And after all you’ve done
You’re still the one your Father wants to find
Oh You can make a million wrong turns
That lead you to a million dead ends
You can think your last bridge is burned
And there’s no going back home again
But no matter how far you are no one chases a heart like He does
You’re always only one step back to Jesus
So come back, come back
Your Father’s arms are waiting
Come back, come back to Jesus
And don’t look back, leave the past behind you
Come back, come back to Jesus
You can make a million wrong turns
That lead you to a million dead ends
You can think your last bridge is burned
But you can still come home again
Cause no matter how far you are no one chases a heart like He does
You’re always only one step back to Jesus
You’re always only one step back to Jesus
You’re always only one step
Back to Jesus
So come back to Jesus
