Come Back to Me

I am going to do something a little different with this blog...for those of you that know me very well, you know that music is a driving force in my life. Those people that are closest to me have more then once gotten an email or letter with song lyrics included! What can I say sometimes a song says what is in my heart way better then I ever could. I was watching some videos on youtube and I kept going back to one song. It is called Come Back to Me, by David Cook. I know isn't a "Christian" song or artist, but honestly the first time I heard the song, well it was God speaking directly to me in the song. While I was on my trip back in July I had a day pretty much to myself, so I spent it driving around Savannah GA, just seeing what there was to see. Often as I am driving my mind gets to racing. This was one of those moments. As a matter of fact I ended up finding myself in tears just thinking about all the things that were going on in my life and probably just some of knowing that I would be leaving that state the next day. Come Back to Me came on the radio, and it was as if God was speaking directly to me...so here I am sharing the lyrics of this song. Maybe it will touch someone else, maybe it won't. I know this song was written more about a lover leaving to find something that was missing....but really and truly when one thinks about it isn't that often what happens when we step out of God's path to try to find our own? Here you go.....

Come Back to Me
You say you gotta go and find yourself
You say that you're becoming someone else
Don't recognize the face in the mirror
Looking back at you

You say you're leavin
As you look away
I know theres really nothin left to say
Just know i'm here
Whenever you need me
I'll wait for you

So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you come back to me

Take your time I wont go anywhere
Picture you with the wind in your hair
I'll keep your things right where you left them
I'll be here for you

Oh I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you come back to me

And I hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you come back to me

I can't get close if your not there
I can't get inside if theres no soul to bear
I can't fix you I can't save you
Its something you have to do

So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you come back to me
Come back to me
So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you come back to me

And I hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you come back to me

When you find you come back to me
When you find you come back to me
When you find you come back to me


**so maybe it is silly of me to put a song on here...but it touched me. It reminds me that no matter how far I get off track, no matter what I have done God will always love me. He will always be there waiting for me to come back to Him. I am reminded as I am writing this of one of my favorite scriptures...Romans 8:35-38 (35)Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? (36)As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." (37)No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (38)For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, (39)neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What an amazing thought that is NOTHING can seperate us from His love! He is waiting for you to come back to Him!
