I Have Returned Songtext

von Bill & Gloria Gaither

I have returned to the God of my childhood,
To the same simple faith as a child I once knew.
Like a prodigal son I've longed for my loved ones.
For the comforts of home and the God I outgrew.

I have returned to the God of my childhood,
Bethlehem's Babe,
The prophet's Messiah.
He's Jesus to me,
Eternal Deity!
Praise His name,
I have returned.

I have returned to the God of my father,
The most God-like man a child could know.
Oh I just heard a shout from the angels in glory,
Praising the Lord a child has come home.

I have returned to the God of my father,
Creator of heaven and earth,
God of the universe.
He's Jesus to me,
Eternal Deity.
Praise His name,
I have returned.

I have returned to the Yahweh of Judah,
On my knees I did fall
Where the wall now stands.
This lesson I've learned as I've worked my way homeward,
The Saviour of all is the comfort to man.

I have returned to the Father of Abraham,
The shepherd of Moses,
Who called Him the great I am.
He's Jesus to me,
Eternal Deity.
Praise His name,
I have returned.

I have returned to the God of my father,
Creator of heaven and earth, God of the universe.
He's Jesus to me,
Eternal Deity.
Praise His name,
I have returned.

I have returned!
