God, take us back the place we began
The simple pursuit of nothing but You
The innocence of a heart in Your hands
God, take us back, oh God take us back
To an unswerving faith in the power of Your name
A heart beating for Your kingdom to reign
A church that is known for Your presence again
God, take us back
Nothing and no one comes close to You
Nothing could ever come close
Nothing and no one, it's You and You only
Nothing could ever come close
So keep our hearts real
And keep Your grace close
You're bringing us back
You're bringing us home
To an unswerving faith in the power of Your name
A heart beating for Your kingdom to reign
A church that is known for Your presence again
God, take us back
Nothing and no one comes close to You
Nothing could ever come close
Nothing and no one, it's You and You only
Nothing could ever come close
Close
Close
Close
Close
Close
Nothing could ever come close
To an unswerving faith in the power of Your name
A heart beating for Your kingdom to reign
A church that is known for Your presence again
God, take us back
Nothing and no one comes close to You
Nothing could ever come close
Nothing and no one, it's You and You only
Nothing could ever come close, oh
Nothing and no one comes close to You
Nothing could ever come close
Nothing and no one, it's You and You only
Nothing could ever come close
Nothing and no one, it's You and You only
Nothing could ever come close
