Verse 1

You have not let me go too far away 

Although I?d strayed, Although I?d strayed 

All I have found is a love that remains 

A love that remains 


Verse 2 

All I could see was the mess that I made 

you were not phased, no you were not phased 

All I have found is a love that remains 

A love that remains 


Chorus 1 

When I was in need you sought after me

When I turned away Your love had never changed  

You paid off my debt, gave me Your rest 

Washed off my weary feet 

Prepared a feast saved me a seat 

Brought out your best for me 


Verse 3: 

All that I had, I had wasted away 

You took my shame, put a robe in its place 

Gave me your ring, and you called me by name 

You celebrate 

  

(Repeat) Chorus 1 

Bridge 

A Love That Remains - 

You have open doors, and open arms you say ?I?m not too far?

You have open doors and open arms and/(my) home is where you are  


Tag  

You always come running  

You always come running - after me (repeat) 


Chorus 2  

When I was in need you sought after  me 

Thought I was too far gone, You stood there with loving arms

You paid off my debt, gave me your rest 

Washed off my weary feet 

Prepared a feast Saved me a seat 

Brought out your best for me
