[VERSE 1]
To the church that held the line in truth
Never bent, never changed the rules
You wore My Name through testing days
Didn’t fall when the pressure came
You saw through every hollow claim
False apostles, empty names
You worked, you waited, you endured
But love grew quiet, not as pure
[PRE-CHORUS]
You stayed strong, you stayed right
But the fire faded in the light
[CHORUS]
It don’t matter what I’ve done
If I lost my first love, Lord
Bring me back to where I started
Bring me back to You, my Lord
[VERSE 2]
You guarded truth, you stood your ground
Wouldn’t let the lies run wild
You hated what corrupts My Name
You turned away from crooked ways
But duty stayed when passion left
Hands were full, but hearts were stressed
Right belief, but love grown thin
A burning wick still holding in
[PRE-CHORUS]
I see the work, I know the strain
But love is more than bearing pain
[CHORUS]
It don’t matter what I’ve done
If I lost my first love, Lord
Bring me back to where I started
Bring me back to You, my Lord
It don’t matter what I’ve done
If I walked this road alone
Bring me back to where I started
Bring me back to You, my Lord
[BRIDGE]
Remember how it used to be
When love was loud and hearts were free
Turn around, don’t walk away
Let repentance lead the way
If you hear Me, if you see
What the Spirit says, believe
Overcome and you will find
Life that never fades in time
Bring me back
Bring me back
[FINAL CHORUS]
It don’t matter where I’ve been
If You restore my heart again
Bring me back to where I started
Bring me back to You, my Lord
It don’t matter what I’ve known
If I walked this road alone
Bring me back to where I started
Bring me back to You, my Lord
[OUTRO]
I walk among the lamps of gold
Still calling hearts that once burned bold
Restore the fire, restore the flame
I still know you by your name
