Lyrics
Verse 1
Come back to me with all your heart.
Don't let fear keep us apart.
Trees do bend, 'though straight and tall;
so must we to others' call.
Come back to me with all your heart.
Don't let fear keep us apart.
Trees do bend, 'though straight and tall;
so must we to others' call.
Refrain
Long have I waited for your coming home to me
and living deeply our new life.
Long have I waited for your coming home to me
and living deeply our new life.
Verse 2
The wilderness will lead you
to your heart where I will speak.
Integrity and justice,
With tenderness, you shall know.
The wilderness will lead you
to your heart where I will speak.
Integrity and justice,
With tenderness, you shall know.
Verse 3
You shall sleep secure with peace;
faithfulness will be your joy.
You shall sleep secure with peace;
faithfulness will be your joy.
