Restore me back to You

Lord, I stand today in awe, before your creation.
You are worthy of all my praise and adoration.

Such majesty and splendor!

Touch me Lord; let me feel your grace.
Allow me, in your strength to run the good race.

Lord, forgive my transgressions, forgive my weakness
We all fall short, without your meekness.

Restore me back to you; I miss the comfort of your embrace.
Invite me into your presence; I miss the soothing balm of your grace.

My soul thirsts for you oh Lord, restore me back to you.
Help me, I call out to you, I know that’s all I need to do.

You know all the secrets in my heart.
You made me in my mother’s womb, right from the start.
Don’t let me slowly fade or drift apart.

Please help me to seek and see your face.
Lead me to you, I follow, you set the pace.

Lord, pour out your mercy; feed me with your living word.
For, without it, living has no meaning, it is all absurd.

Any darkness in my soul erase, don’t leave even a trace.
Awaken me with your truth and surround me with your grace.

You are my rock, and place of safety, restore me back to you.
I love you, and I know you love me too.
