Homesick for Your love
I wanna know You like I did back then
When the line between Heaven and Earth was thin
I wanna see Your hand in everything
To a faith that's as fresh as the summer rain
Take me back to my roots
Back to the truth
Back to where it's only me and You
Back to the start
Back to Your heart
Oh, take me back
I'm homesick for Your love
I need Your mercy
Homesick for Your love
I need Your grace
I wanna go back
Yeah, I want to wonder
I wanna go back
To want You forever
'Cause I'm homesick for Your love
I don't wanna go back
I wanna sing it like it's my first time
Standin' there in the presence of holy fire
I wanna see the scales fall from my eyes
Be surprised by the colors of Heaven's light
Take me back to my roots
Back to the truth
Back to where it's only me and You
Back to the start
Back to Your heart
Oh, take me back
I'm homesick for Your love
I need Your mercy
Homesick for Your love
I need Your grace
I wanna go back
Yeah, I want to wonder
I wanna go back
To want You forever
'Cause I'm homesick for Your love
And I wanna go back
Back to my roots
Back to the truth
Back to the start
Back to Your heart
...
Take me back to the start
Back to Your heart
Take me back to the start
Back to You
...
I'm homesick for Your love
I need Your mercy
Homesick for Your love
I need Your grace
I wanna go back
Yeah, I want to wonder
I wanna go back
I want You forever
Yeah, I want to wonder
I wanna go back
I want You forever
'Cause I'm homesick for Your love
And I wanna go back
