Musical Monday

Greetings on this rainy November day! Today I would like to share a song that has become very near and dear to my heart recently.  As many of you may know, God has brought many, MANY changes into my life in the last 2 years.  Some of it has been hard, some exciting, some challenging, some painful, but it has ALL been good for me. Romans 8:28 has been evident in my life but my own stubbornness and hard heart made it difficult to see that.  While listening to the Galkin CD, "Christ, only always" this song stood out. It summed up my last 2 years perfectly and with tears in my eyes and joy in my heart I thanked God for making us return to Him. 

Title: Come, let us return to the Lord

Composer/writer: Dick and Melodie Tunney

Genre: Hymn

Performed by: Galkin Evangelistic Team

Come, let us return to the Lord

Verse 1:

All of us like sheep have gone astray

Seeking our own way,

We've left the Shepherds care again. 

Through the wilderness we wander,

in the hopelessness of sin.

We must run into His arms, 

from where we've been.

Chorus:

Oh, Come let us return to the Lord,

let our hearts yearn for the Lord.

Only His love will save us.

For though our lives are broken 

He will mend and restore our hope again

Let us return to the Lord

Let us return to the Lord.

Verse 2:

By His grace alone we have been saved,

rescued from the grave.

And through His blood we have new life

May the passion of our first love

 bring us to our knees. 

We can know the heart of God

if we believe

Chorus:

So, Come let us return to the Lord

let our hearts yearn for the Lord.

Only His love will save us.

For though our lives are broken

 He will mend and restore our hope again

Let us return to the Lord

Bridge:

Let us return to the One 

who breaks our pride so He can heal us.

To the One who binds our wounds 

and knows our scars.

Chorus:

Let us return to the Lord,

Let our hearts yearn for the Lord.

Only His love will save us

For though our lives are broken 

He will mend and restore our hope again

Let us return to the Lord

Let us return to the Lord

For though our lives are broken

He will mend and restore our hope again

Let us return to the Lord

Let us return to the Lord

Let us return to the Lord.
