Come, Let Us Return

Words by James MacDonald; Music by Andi Rozier

Awesome God, lifted high, seated on the throne
Ruling glorious, robed in splendor, universe Your own
‘Holy, holy, holy,’ sing the seraph as they fly
Purging coal of sovereign grace, calling forth this cry . . .

Come, let us return; let us return to our King!
He has torn, but He will heal us; bring Him everything
Self and sin and shame we’re spurning,
Grief and sorrow now are burning.
Yes, it’s time we are returning to the Lord

Mirror of Your holiness, showing me my sin
Grief and shame displacing all the darkness that’s within
Changing mind and heart reveal I’ve no one else to blame
Falling in repentance; from our brokenness proclaim . . .

Christ upon the cross of shame, we see who put You there
Merciful, atoning Savior dies for our despair.
So unworthy of the blood that covers all our shame,
Rising in the grace unearned we’re shouting the refrain . . .

Spirit of revival power birthing in my soul
Passionate pursuit of Jesus is my only goal
Fills us with abiding joy and conquers all our foes
Bearing fruit for Jesus only, ‘til the whole world knows
