Around The World And Back Lyrics - Theocracy

Hey weary traveler, have you finally lost your way? 

ch dream of turning back the clock to yesterday 

what seemed so simple then has now faded away 

And you'd often wonder why 

The truth surrendered as the years went by 

You grabbed the simple gift and held it as a child 

But faith became encumbered 

Chained after awhile 

And then your journey just got harder every mile 

But it's an endless game, you see 

Forget the rest and just come back to Me 

Reaching out, reaching in 

Faith to works to doubt and back again 

You've been around the world and back 

Love and loss, vanity 

Just believe and leave the rest to Me 

You'll see 

Around the world and back 

Grace has a way of building nope out of despair 

Peel back the layers or the baggage that you bear 

And watch your great confusion vanish in the air 

Now the lies have gone away 

You found that child from long ago today 

Reaching out, reaching in... 

You will never reach as high as heaven's door 

You could never build a bridge to Me 

Your greatest acts are filthy rags 

But grace alone is free 

So rest in Me 

So many try to qualify the promise that I've made 

To twist the gift into some kind of trade 

But grace bears no allowance 

For your works to make your way 

Be not afraid 

Your price is paid 

Reaching out, reaching in...
