Lyrics Return, Oh Backslider - Walter Hawkins

We've changed
We no longer seek, my God's face
We've changed
We think we're saved by works and not by faith
The purest saints of God
We no longer seek, and our testimonies as Christians
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

Return, oh backslider
Return and He'll revive us
He'll restore you
Back to your place in God
Again
Again
He will come and bring you life
More abundantly if you only return

On to Him
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

Return, oh backslider
Return and He'll revive us
He'll restore you
Back to your place in God
Again
He will come and bring you life
More abundantly only return

Back to Him
Can't you hear God calling you
He will come bring you life
More abundantly if you only return
Back to Him
I called to speak to Him
He will come bring you life
More abundantly only return
Back to Him
To Him
