Jesus, I've forgotten the words that You have spoken;

With a doubting heart I follow the paths of earthly wisdom.

Forgive me for my unbelief; renew the fire again.

I have built an altar where I worship things of man, 
Em7              C2              G                D 
I have taken journeys that have drawn me far from You.

Now I am returning to Your mercies ever flow – ing,

Pardon my transgressions, help me love You again.
