I Have Returned

I HAVE RETURNED

I have returned to the God of my childhood, To the same simple faith as a child I once knew; Like the prodigal son I have longed for my loved ones, For the comforts of home and the God I outgrew.
I have returned to the God of my childhood, Bethlehem's Babe, the prophet's Messiah; He's Jesus to me, Eternal Deity; Praise His name, I have returned.

I have returned to the God of my mother, With unfailing faith for the child of her heart; She said bring them up the way that you want them, Thank God when they're grown, they'll never depart.
I have returned to the God of my mother, I learned at her knee He's the lily of the valley; He's Jesus to me, Eternal Deity; Praise His name, I have returned.

I have returned to the God of my father, The most God-like man a child could know; I just heard a shout from the angels in glory, Praising the Lord a child has come home.
I have returned to the God of my father, Creator of heaven and earth, God of the universe; He's Jesus to me, Eternal Deity; Praise His name, I have returned.

I have returned to the Yahweh of Judah, On my knees I did fall where the wall now stands; This lesson I learned as I've worked my way homeward, The Savior of all is a comfort to man.
I have returned to the Father of Abraham, The shepherd of Moses who called Him the great I am; He's Jesus to me, Eternal Deity; Praise His name, I have returned.
