Take Me Back
by Craig Smith

Album: Echoes of Innocence

The first days we walked together
Weren't always easy, but it didn't matter
Because my heart and mind
Were occupied with You
But in recent years, my steps have strayed
Once hearing ears have now turned away
And our time together
I seldom now pursue

There's a crying from within me
Calling for those early ways
Take me back

Take me
Take me back to
Take me back to the day
When all I needed was You
Take me
Take me back to
Take me back to the place
Where all I wanted was You
Take me back to Jesus

There was fire, sense of destiny
Holy purpose was consuming me
Your kingdom inhabited my mind
Slowly, a selfish vision
Eroded the Godly mission
Now the vanities of the world
They rule my time

There's a longing to return to
Christ-centered early days
The early days

Take me
Take me back to
Take me back to the day
When all I needed was You
Take me
Take me back to
Take me back to the place
Where all I wanted was You
Take me back to Jesus

To the pure and the simple places
To the childlike faith
To the unencumbered graces
Take me back

Take me
Take me back to
Take me back to the day
When all I needed was You
Take me
Take me back to
Take me back to the place
Where all I wanted was You
Take me, take me back

Take me
Take me back to
Take me back to the day
When all I needed was You
All I needed was You
Take me
Take me back to
Take me back to the place
Where all I wanted was You
Take me back to Jesus
Take me back
