Return, Oh Backslider
by Walter Hawkins

Album: Classic 3


(L)
We've changed
We no longer seek, my God face
We've changed
We think we saved by works and not by faith
The purest saints of God
We no longer seek, and our testimony as Christian
They get so tired and so weak
We've changed
We've no desire to fast or to pray anymore
We've changed
We attend the church, but it seems such a bore
We have a form of Godliness
Church we've lost all of our power
How can we stand in these old last and evil days…
How can we face the final hour

(C)
Return, oh backslider…
Return and He'll revive us
He'll restore you…

(L)
Back to your place in God

(C)
Again…

(L)
Again…
He will come… and bring you life
More abundedly if you only return

(C)
On to Him…

(L)
We… we have changed
The joy that once was our strength is all gone
Church we've changed
We feel we can do anything whether right or whether wrong
But my bible tells me there…will be
There's going to be a great falling away
I came to tell you, you don't have to be in that number
Because you're Christ's help

(C)
Return, oh backslider…
Return and He'll revive us
He'll restore you…

(L)
Back to your place in God

(C)
Again…

(L)
Again…
He will come… and bring you life
More abundedly…only return

(C)
Back to Him

(L)
Can't you hear God calling you

(C)
He will come… bring you life…

(L)
More abundedly… if you only return

(C)
Back to Him

(L)
I called to speak to Him

(C)
He will come… bring you life…

(L)
More abundedly… only return

(C)
Back to Him

(L)
To Him…

Song is was such a staple in the church when I was growing up in the 90s. Our choir director Pastor Clive Mullings taught us this song. It Still rings true today! - Mar 2023
