I Had to Come Back Lyrics

Verse 1:

When I look at my life as it was before

Riddled with strife to the bitter core

How did I get here? How did things change?

I remember the night; the night You came

Verse 2:

I was going down, but wasn’t everyone?

I tried to hold the beats together till the song was done

Caught between options; hope was no choice

Then among the echoes came one clear voice

Chorus:

I had to come back and say thank You

I had to do more than just go on my way

With the rest of my life I’ll praise You

And the world will hear me say...

You are my King, You are my God

You’re my Master, You are my Friend

Though the mountains tremble and the earth gives way

I will love You to the end

Verse 3:

You have taken the rags of past slavery

And by each word you speak I am more free

The word that I heard is the life I now live

And the light that I saw is a fire within
