Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Restore to me the joy of my salvation 

Take me back to where it all began 

Where all I ever wanted was your presence  

How I long to be there once again 

 

Light a fire 

That the world can?t burn out  

Fan the flame 

Till nothing between us remains 

Oh My life is an alter to you 

Breathe again 

On the ambers that burn In my heart 

A love taken back to the start 

 

Oh My life is an alter to you 

Renew in me a pure and willing Spirit  

Take me back to Where it all began 

Before it all became so complicated  

How I long to be there once again  

 

God I?m sorry 

Please forgive me 

For when I?ve gone cold 

 

Lord I need you 

How I need you  

To awake my soul
