Church (Take Me Back)

There was a time that I swore I would never go back

I was blind to the truth, didn't know what I had

I was running, I was searching

But every place I turned for healing

Left me more broken than the last

Take me back

To the place that feels like home

To the people I can depend on

To the faith that's in my bones

Take me back

To a preacher and a verse

Where they've seen me at my worst

To the love I had at first

Oh, I want to go to church

Tried to walk on my own but I wound up lost

Now I'm making my way to the foot of the cross

It's not a trophy for the winners

It's a shelter for the sinners

And it's right where I belong

Take me back

To the place that feels like home

To the people I can depend on

To the faith that's in my bones

Take me back

To a preacher and a verse

Where they've seen me at my worst

To the love I had at first

Oh, I want to go to church

I want to go to church

Oh, more than an obligation

It's our foundation

The family of God

I know it's hard

But we need each other

We're sisters and brothers

Oh, take me back

To the place that feels like home

To the people I can depend on

To the faith that's in my bones

Take me back

To a preacher and a verse

Where they've seen me at my worst

To the love I had at first

Oh, I want to go to church
