So you think youre wise to the ways of the world

Watching the madness with a cynical eye

Speaking your judgement with a trembling chin

And quietly closing the shade

You cannot hold back all the years of your pain

Do you wish you could leap from this runaway train

Youve spoken His name called Him time and again

But your doubt always kept Him away



Minutes to hours and hours to days

I seems just as black as the night

Theres only so much of this life you can take

With no hope of a rescue in sight

You feel youve lost salvation

I wish you knew the truth

That Hes always waited right here by your side



Hes the Light at the end of the tunnel

Hes the Beacon that guides your way

You cant count on tomorrow to come

You need His love today!

His eyes have always been with you

Youve never left His sight

Return to your Shepard

Let Him lead you out of the night



Why do you spend your life running away

Have you given Him reason to doubt

Why do you hide from the Light of the world

when you know Hes the only way out

If you question the joy of surrender

You need look no further than me

Will you ever hear Him knocking on your door



Youre not the type to be easily led

Youve been around for so long so its said

And though you have judged by the fact you have seen

The conlcusion you draw is a lie

The world keeps on turning around and around

Day becomes night becomes day

Sooner or later your house will come down

and your passion will whither away

But for the clock keeps ticking away

And youve never a guarantee

Until you open up and let Him in



Chorus



...Return to your Shepard

Its gonna be alright



Chorus
