Verse 1

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

Chorus

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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

Bridge

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 o

Chorus

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
