When We Return

I've watched you drift through empty skies
Your prayers grew faint, your heart ran dry
Yet still I wait, with arms unclosed
To heal the wound the darkness chose

You tried to fill the void inside
With fleeting lights that never shine
But still my mercy calls your name
To wash your sins, to break your chains

We hear you Lord in the silence
We feel your mercy fall like rain
We return, we return to you
Hearts restored, made clean and true

The cross still stands, your love endures
Forever we are lost
Your grace still calls the wandering soul
You breathe your life and make us whole

Our shame dissolves, our spirits rise
Redemption fills the tear stained skies
We hear you Lord in the silence
We feel your mercy fall like rain

We return, we return to you
Hearts restored, made clean and true
The cross still stands, your love endures
Forever we are yours

Your love won't fade, your grace remains
We bow, we kneel, we call your name
You lift our souls, you dry our tears
We rise redeemed, no more our fears

We return, we return to you
All the earth sings, all things made new
The cross still stands, salvation sure
Forever we are yours

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
