Return To Me
Brian Doerksen's song 'Return to Me' is a worship piece that presents God's tender invitation for His people to come back to Him. Drawing from prophetic imagery, the lyrics emphasize God's roles as Creator, Redeemer, Father, and husband, calling listeners to repentance and trust. The song speaks of God's desire to remove fear, cleanse sin, and offer love. It echoes the biblical theme of returning to the Lord with the promise of salvation and strength found in quietness and rest. The message is one of grace, restoration, and intimate relationship with God.
From the ancient days until today
I have inspired prophets and poets
And the heart of every message
Are these three words
Return to me
I am your Creator - Return to me
I am your Redeemer; Your Father - return to me
I am your husband - return to me
I have longed to hold you in my arms
And take all of your fear away
I will take your filthy rags and make them clean
If you receive my love, if you receive my love
Return to Me and hear my Spirit say
In repentance and rest is your salvation
In quietness and trust is your strength
