(When I got this song, it came to me with the melody from The Jackson 5 song “I WANT YOU BACK” )
Been away from Jesus for so long
Wondered why my life was going wrong
He use to walk beside me everyday
But I’m the one who wandered away
Now I see the errors of my way
And this is all that I have to say
OH I WANT TO BE WHERE YOU ARE, LORD
OH I WANT TO BE WHERE YOU ARE, OH LORD ( chorus )
YES I WANT TO BE WHERE YOU ARE, LORD
YES I WANT TO BE WHERE YOU ARE, OH LORD
Satan had done blinded my eyes
And all I did was sit around and cry
It was up to me to take a step
I knew of the Lord, I knew His rep
Jesus, He would keep me safe from harm
If I would just return to His open arms
( chorus )
I know that it’s all up to me
The Bible spells it out from A to Z
When you let the Lord head your life
You will live in peace and not in strife
He is there to answer when you call
He will pick you up when you fall
( chorus )
God has given us Jesus’ name
To lose out on life would be a shame
I have wasted so many years
I have cried a river full of tears
But Jesus hasn’t given up on me
And now I know where I want to be
( chorus, repeat chorus……….)
( 2Corinthians 6:17-18 )
