This song has moved me several times. It's a prayer that will connect with many Christians going through times of anxiety and suffering, and it's also very bold. "Take Me Back" is another original song from the Maverick City Music community, based out of Atlanta, about whom I've written before. (They make wonderful and creative fusions of acoustic contemporary, improvisation, and African-American Gospel music). This song features Dante Howe of Bethel and has three different bridges, all with powerful lyrics. It is easily sing-able by a congregation.
I remember when I was young and your voice shouting loud my name
Since that moment, never heard it quite that way
Now that I’m older, could you say it again?
I remember when I was afraid, oh, the hand I felt lead the way
For the first time in my life I felt safe
Now that I’m older, would you lead me again?
When the storm's out on the ocean
And the violent wind get’s to blowing
Oh take me back, back, all the way back
Oh take me back to my first love
I remember when I was blind until your love opened up my eyes
Oh my life, flooded with your light
Now that I’m older, would you show me again? Oh, would you show me again?
You are real to me, I’ve known it from the start
There’s no space between the Heavens and my heart
You are near to me, I’ve never been too far
And in the in between, You brought Heaven to my heart
When it was all simple, and loving was easy
When it was all simple, and trusting was easy
