Come Back to the King

You’ve been wandering alone in the Valley of Doubt,

And you’re beginning to wonder if you’ll ever find your way out.

You want to be strong and make it on your own.

But someday you’ll see that none of us can do it alone.

 

Come back to the King, and He’ll take your part.

All you have to bring is a humble heart.

Come back to the King. You know that He cares.

He’s been listening to all of your prayers.

 

You’re standing on the edge of the depths of sin,

And it’s easy going down, but it’s hard climbing up again.

You’re standing on the brink of that slippery slope,

But no matter what happens, you never have to give up hope.

 

Come back to the King. He’ll be waiting for you.

It’s the easiest thing you could ever do.

Come back to the King, and find perfect love.

Shelter under the wing of that pure white Dove.

 

You’re driving yourself to needless pain.

You’ve got the world to lose, but your soul to gain.

You need to find something worth living for.

Come back to the King, and let Him open the door.

 

Come back to the King. All your pain will be eased.

You can drink from the spring of infinite peace.

Come back to the King, back where your belong,

And let your heart sing that eternal song.
