In 1998, they added a touring band, with Cappillino's husband, Dana, and Tommy McGee as permanent band members on guitar and on bass, respectively.
In 2006, former Avalon member Michael Passons added his work to the group's live show, usually opening the set with a few solo songs and backing the group on keyboards.
The group's debut self-titled album was released in 1993; since then, they have been recognized as one of the top Contemporary Christian music bands in the United States. In 2003, they released their ninth album, 24 - a compilation of their 24 consecutive #1 radio singles. To this date, no band in any genre has matched this record. As of 2006 the girls have 27 #1 radio singles.
The group has started a conference for young girls, the Girls of Grace series
Take Me Back
Point Of Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been too long chasing selfish dreams
Seeking only what my heart desired
I've drifted so far away it seems
From the truth that set my soul on fire
How many times will it take for me to see
That you're the only love my heart will
(chorus)
Take me back, take me back, jesus
Take me back
To where I can know your love
Take me back, take me back, jesus
Take me back
Won't you take me back
Take me back, take me back, jesus
Take me back to where I can feel you love
Take me back, take me back, jesus
Take me back
Like the prodigal far from home
Lost inside a world of my own choosing
Tried to make it out on my own
Never realized all I'd be losing
I still remember just how it used to be
Lord, forgive my weakness
Come and rescue me
(repeat chorus)
There's no one else I would turn to
You're the only one who can pull me through
(repeat chorus)
The lyrics of Point of Grace's song "Take Me Back" evoke feelings of remorse and a desire for redemption. The introductory verse sets the stage for an individual who has been chasing selfish dreams for so long that they have become separated from the truth that once set their soul on fire. The chorus invokes the name of Jesus and begs for his mercy and grace to bring them back to where they can feel his love. The lyrics of the second verse relate to the parable of the prodigal son from the Bible. The singer feels lost and alone, realizing that they have lost everything when they tried to make their own way in the world. Finally, the lyrics state that there is no one else who can pull them through except Jesus.
The solemn melody that underlies the lyrics is a reminder that when we stray from the right path, there is a way to return. The song invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences of feeling lost and disconnected from the divine. It reminds us that we all have moments when we go astray, but the love of Jesus can bring us back to where we belong.
