I want to go back

by Joel Howard

I, in sin, want to win

I, in flesh, want to be the best

I, fallen, want what's coming

I, in God, want to go back

Back to thanksgiving

Back to the ancient roads

Where my fathers traveled

I want to go back

I, panicked, embrace regret

I, vanquished, know lack

I, worried, forget God

I, In Him, want to go back

Back to high praises

Back to the ancient paths

Back to remembrance

I want to go back

Counting my blessings

In two and three-digit sums

Multiplying faith

In this heart that was numb

Heavenly math

Holy outcome

Counting my blessings

God, I'm coming home!
