Back To The Father

 A               E/A
While I was far away
          DMaj7
You were listening
                 A
Listening for my call
 A                    E/A
 In the midst of my mistakes
          DMaj7
You were waiting for me
 DMaj7
Waiting to catch my fall


[Pre-Chorus]
         F#m7  E      D
Now I'm coming to my self
    A            C#m7
I realize, I was wrong
      F#m7   E         D
I con-fess I need Your help
        A        C#m7
I will arise and go...


[Chorus 1]
          D2
I'm going back to the Father, back to the One
     F#m7
Who offers forgiveness, for all that I've done
       D2
As He runs to embrace me, He calls me His son
         A
And I'm home


[Verse 2]
A                      E/A
I was stumbling in the dark
         DMaj7
You were whispering
DMaj7             A
Whispering to my heart
 A                    E/A
Then You saw me from afar
          DMaj7
You came running for me
 DMaj7             A
Running with open arms


[Chorus 2]
              D2
So I'm going back to the Father, back to the One
     F#m7
Who offers forgiveness, for all that I've done
       D2
As He runs to embrace me, He calls me His son
         A
And I'm home
           D2                  Bm7
I'm going back to the Father, back to the place
      F#m7                A
Where all of my sin, and shame is erased
        D2                   Bm7
By His unfailing love, and unending grace
         A
And I'm home
                F#m7
O-o-ohh... I am home
