Return to Me
Steve Pettit Evangelistic Team Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the pressures of life′s journey
Cause the walls around your heart
When your prayers will go unanswered and you don't know where to start
When dark clouds block the sunshine you know you′ve lost your way
Turn around there is hope you can hear the father say
Return to me there is no other, return to me for I am God
I have redeemed you, return to me.
II.
When you passed through ranging waters, I was by your side
(When you passed... I was there by your side)
When you walk through the fire, I did not let you burn
(When you walk... I did not let you burn)
When you fell beneath the weight of a cross you had to bear
When you thought you were abandon, I was standing there
"Return to Me" is a beautiful and inspiring song by the Steve Pettit Evangelistic Team that talks about finding hope and redemption in God. The first stanza describes the struggles that one might face in life, such as feeling lost and uncertain, and not knowing where to turn. It talks about the walls around our heart that we build when we face hardships and how sometimes our prayers go unanswered. However, in times of darkness and despair, we should turn to God, who is our ultimate hope and the only one who can guide us out of these difficult moments. The chorus then calls out to listeners to return to God, reminding them that He is the only true way to find salvation and redemption.
In the second stanza, the song talks about how God has been with us through every trial that we face in life. He was with us when we passed through raging waters and walked through fire, protecting us from harm. It talks about how we might feel like we are alone and abandoned, but God is always standing by our side, ready to help us get back up when we fall. This verse serves as a reminder that, even in the hardest of times, God will never leave us alone, and we can always turn to Him for strength and guidance.
