Couplet 1

I was born beneath a sky
Inside a time when there were heroes
Where normal folks would give the shirt
Off of their back to those in need
We’d sit and talk and spend the day
Just catching up until the stores closed
We didn’t have it all
But now I see that we had everything

Refrain

Take me back
Closer to Your fire
I wanna feel that light again
Give me grace
Make it my desire
Shake my world apart
Remind how to love
With the power of a tender heart

Couplet 2

Now I’m so tired of all the talk
And all the rampant speculation
It keeps my bones on edge
And leaves my soul a little irritated
Wonder what the news would be
If we all learned to pray like Jesus
I believe yes I believe
That is really what is gonna save us

Refrain

Take me back
Closer to Your fire
I wanna feel that light again
Give me grace
Make it my desire
Shake my world apart

Refrain

Take me back
Closer to Your fire
I wanna feel that light again
Give me grace
Make it my desire
Shake my world apart
Remind how to love
With the power of a tender heart

Post-Refrain

Remind me
Remind me
Remind me
Remind me how to love
Remind me
Remind me
Remind me

Couplet 3

Today I saw it when I look
Into the bluest eyes of my son
In the way he laughs and plays
There’s joy inside his DNA
Not a care in this whole world
Somehow he understands this deep love
We all need the tenderness
You can only find in simple ways

Refrain

Take me back
Closer to Your fire
I wanna feel that light again
Give me grace
Make it my desire
Shake my world apart

Post-Refrain

Remind me
Remind me
Remind me
Remind me how to love
Remind me
Remind me
Remind me how to love

Outro

Remind how to love
With the power of a tender heart
