Summer Solstice

It must have been the summer solstice

When I first gave my heart to You

The first day of a brand new season

In a fevered passion for Your simple truth

It was the longest I'd ever felt for anything

And it gave my soul a song to sing

It must have been my adolescence

That pulled me from my childlike faith

But what I thought to be maturity

Was just neglect that I tried to vindicate

And I went drifting on the wind

Like the autumn leaves

But when I fell I landed on my knees

So can You throw Your arms around me

And walk me home

I've wandered off way too far

For way too long

And standing broken in this wilderness of shame

I have found my only strength is in Your name

Oh, Father please can You undo what I've done

And get me back to square one

I never saw that blizzard coming

Just woke up and ice was on the ground

And there were times this beating heart of pride

Was so stubborn it refused to make a sound

But now I'm feeling so out of my element

Frozen in the winter of my discontent

So can You throw Your arms around me

And walk me home, yeah

I've wandered off way too far

For way too long

And standing broken in this wilderness of shame

I have found my only strength is in Your name

Oh, Father please can You undo what I've done

And get me back to square one

And with the spring comes the thaw

Melting my heart reviving all

It comes full circle and then

It's summer solstice again

So can You throw Your arms around me

And walk me home

I've wandered off way too far

For way too long, yeah, yeah

And standing broken in this wilderness of shame

I have found my only strength is in Your name

Oh, Father please can You undo what I've done

And get me back to square one

Back to the summer solstice

Oh, can You take me back

Oh, I wanna go back

Take me back

Oh, take me back

Take me back

Oh, take me back
