Take Me Back - Maverick City Music, Dante Bowe

I remember when I was young

And Your voice, shouting loud my name

And since that moment

I haven’t heard it quite that way

Well, now that I’m older

Could You say it again?

I remember I was afraid

And, oh, the hand I felt lead the way

And for the first time in my life I felt safe

Well, God, now that I’m older

Would You lead me again?

Oh, when the storm’s out on the ocean

And the violent wind get’s to blowing

Oh, take me back, back

All the way back

Oh, take me back to my first love

I remember when I was blind

And then Your love opened up my eyes

And oh, the light that flooded with Your light

Now that I’m older

Could You show me again?

Oh, would You show me again?

'Cause when the storm’s out on the ocean

And the violent wind get’s to blowing

Oh, take me back, back

All the way back

Oh, take me back to my first love

'Cause You are real to me

I have known it from the start

And there’s no space between

The heavens and my heart

You are near to me

I’ve never been too far, hey

And in the in-between

You brought heaven to my heart, yeah

'Cause when the storm’s out on the ocean

And the violent wind get’s to blowing

Oh, take me back, back (Take me back, take me back)

All the way back (Hey)

Oh, take me back, back (Take me back, take me back)

All the way back (Hey)

Oh, take me back, back (I wanna go, I wanna go)

All the way back

Oh, take me back to my first love

When it was all simple

And loving was easy

When it was all simple

And trusting was easy

When it was all simple

(And loving) And loving was easy

When it was all simple

And trusting was easy

When it was all simple

And loving was easy

When it was all simple

And trusting was easy

When it was all simple

And loving was easy

When it was all simple

And trusting was easy

When it was all simple

And loving was easy

(When it was all) When it was all simple

And trusting was easy

Take me back to the start, God

Where You won my heart

How could I ever forget?

Hey, no, I will never forget

No, I will never forget

The night You saved me (I will never forget)

The night You healed me (I will never forget)

The night You freed me (I will never forget)

From all of my chains (I will never forget)

The night that You freed me (I will never forget)

From all of my chains (I will never forget)

The night that You freed me (I will never forget)

From all of my chains (I will never forget)

And I will never be the same (I will never forget)

I will never be the same (I will never forget)

I will never forget (I will never forget)

Never (I will never forget)

Never (I will never forget)

Never (I will never forget)

You’ve been too good (I will never forget)

I will never forget (I will never forget)

Never (I will never forget)

'Cause when the storm’s out on the ocean

And the violent wind get’s to blowing

Oh, take me back, back

All the way back (Come on, sing it out)

Oh, take me back (Back), back (Back)

All the way back

Oh, take me back, back (Take me back, yeah)

All the way back

Oh, take me back to my first love

And I hear the Lord say

If you ask, He will do it

I hear the Lord say

If you ask, He will do it

He’s not wanting to hide

Or wanting any distance

If there ever was distance

It’s because we ran and hide

So I hear tonight, there’s a fresh start

And it’s only the beginning

I hear tonight there’s a fresh start

Just lift your hands and receive it

Yeah, yeah, yeah

There’s a fresh start

And it’s right here, right now

A fresh start

And it’s right here, right now

A fresh start

I prophesy, it’s right here, right now

You don’t have to beg, you don’t have to beg for it

He wants to give it to you anyway

So I declare, there’s a fresh start

And it’s right here, right now

There’s a fresh start

And it’s right here, right now

Oh my

There’s a fresh start

And it’s right here, right now

There’s a fresh start

When the storm’s out on the ocean

And the violent wind get’s to blowing

Oh, take me back, back

All the way back

Oh, take me back to my first love
