From the recording Return To Me
Return To Me is a powerful global worship anthem that journeys from humanity's search for meaning to God's loving call to come home. Blending Hebrew, Middle Eastern, African, and orchestral influences, the song contrasts fading idols, empty rituals, and lesser thrones with the living God who carries His people and faithfully seeks them even in the wilderness. From Israel's desert journey to Christ's victory over temptation, Return To Me reveals the heart of a Father calling His children back to Himself. Ultimately, the song points to Jesus—the faithful Son who refused lesser kingdoms, overcame every temptation, and opened the way home for all who will return.

VERSE 1
Em
We lit the candles in the night
C
We carved our hopes in wood and stone
G
We tied our prayers to passing things
D
And wondered why we felt alone
Em
We left our coins beside the flame
C
We wrote our tears where none could see
G
But through the smoke and fading signs
D
You whispered, "Child, return to Me"
PRE-CHORUS
C
Not to the image
G
Not to the shrine
D
Not to the token
Em
Not to the sign
C
I heard your crying
G
Before you could see
D
The One you were seeking
Em
Was seeking thee
CHORUS
Em
Return to Me
C
Return to Me
G
Lay down the idols
D
Come home and be free
Em
Return to Me
C
Return to Me
G
I am the God
D
Who carried thee
Em
Return to Me
VERSE 2
Em
You found them in a desert land
C
A wasteland wild beneath the sky
G
You led them through the howling sands
D
And kept them as Your own delight
Em
You spoke to Israel's wounded heart
C
Where no false god could satisfy
G
Not in the gold, not in the calf
D
But in the Voice that called them nigh
PRE-CHORUS
C
Not by the altar
G
Man's hands have made
D
Not by the serpent
Em
Once lifted and praised
C
The bronze was broken
G
The lesson remains
D
No other god
Em
Can carry your name
CHORUS
Em
Return to Me
C
Return to Me
G
Lay down the idols
D
Come home and be free
Em
Return to Me
C
Return to Me
G
I am the God
D
Who carried thee
BRIDGE 1
[Music drops. Deep drum only. Male choir answers softly.]
Em
You carried your gods
C
But they could not move
G
You painted their faces
D
But they could not prove
Em
You lifted them up
C
When they fell to the floor
G
But I am the Lord
D
Who can raise and restore
[Build strings. Choir enters.]
C
I made you
G
I know you
D
I called you
Em
I chose you
C
Before you called
G
I heard your plea
D
Before you searched
Em
I came to seek
VERSE 3
Em
Then came the Son into the dust
C
Led by the Spirit to the wild
G
The tempter offered lesser thrones
D
But He remained the Father's Child
Em
No bread, no sign, no kingdom's crown
C
Could turn His holy heart aside
G
He chose the cross, refused the lie
D
And opened mercy deep and wide
PRE-CHORUS 3
C
Not by power
G
Not by fame
D
Not by kingdoms
Em
Built on shame
C
The Son was faithful
G
The Son was true
D
He overcame
Em
To bring us through

Not to the shadow

But unto Me

Return to Me
G
I am your Father
D
Come home to Me
