Hello Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ!
With all the calls to repent and fast as well as the very serious times we are in I feel led to share this with you. The lord lead me to write and record this; I believe it is a song we should be singing and sharing. He promises to never leave or forsake us, he promises to be our strong tower, our refuge, our hiding place if only we return to him.
Youtube link, verses, and words for the song are below.
God bless you all.

Scripture for Return to Me
Zechariah 1:3 Therefore tell the people: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Return to me,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will return to you,’ says the Lord Almighty. Zechariah 2:5 AMP For I,’ declares the Lord, ‘will be a wall of fire around her [protecting her from enemies], and I will be the glory in her midst.’” Psalm 61:3 For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. 2Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Words:
Verse 1
Laden down with sin, I turned away from God
Where once I had sweet fellowship, now there’s only emptiness
Walking my own way, Forgetting my first love
Darkness made my every choice, until I hearkened to his voice…
He said –
Chorus
Return to me, and I’ll return to you
Repent, receive…your strength I’ll renew
Return to me, and I’ll return to you
I’ll set you free I’ll lead you through.
I will be a wall of fire, around you to protect you
I will be a strong tower, I will never fail
I will never leave, I will not forsake you
and I will be the Glory in your midst – so return to me!
Verse2
My country’s on its knees, the crushing weight of sin
We’ve taken God from school and home,
we mock the laws we’re founded on
As hatred rises up, as all becomes corrupt
We’ve forgotten basic wrong from right
we serve the darkness not the light
Chorus
Return to me, and I’ll return to you
Repent, receive…your strength I’ll renew
Return to me, and I’ll return to you
I’ll set you free, I’ll lead you through.
I will be a wall of fire, around you to protect you
I will be a strong tower, I will never fail
I will never leave, I will not forsake you
and I will be the Glory in your midst – so return to me!
Bridge
If my people who are called by my name
would humble themselves and pray
and turn from their wicked ways
I will hear from heaven, I will hear from heaven
I will hear from heaven, yeah. (3x)
And I will forgive their sin and heal their land!
Chorus x2
Return to me (I Repent) and I’ll return to you (I repent)
Repent, receive(I repent), your strength I’ll renew
Return to me(I Repent), and I’ll return to you(I Repent)
I’ll set you free(I Repent) I’ll lead you through.
(background vocal:
I want to bless you, I want to love you, I want to gather you, in my everlasting arms
Unleash the power of the God who loves you, and you will be drenched in my love…)
Return to me.
