v.1
I’ve been wandering
Far from Your side
Pursuing idols
Feeding my pride
I’ve been neglecting
The Word that you sent
Help me repent… and stay

v.2
When I’m confident
Life seems okay
That’s when I find I’m
Drifting away
The ground I stood on
Was sinking sand
Lord take my hand… and stay

(bridge)
If You leave me to myself
I will ever be this way… Jesus

(chorus)
Take me to your cross
Where beggars count as loss
The riches once thought gain
To know You in Your pain

Where man finds God again
And remedy for sin
Where every debt I own
Is paid by You alone…

Jesus, take me to Your cross

v.3
And so I strive lord
Running this race
Pleading and praying
Seeking your face
Yet sinful flesh can
Darken my soul
Lord make me whole… and stay
