Come let us return to the Lord
And He will heal us
Confess our sin to the Lord
And He will restore us
For He longs for us to know Him
And to offer Him our lives
For the Lord our God
Is on our side
And His mercy is upon us
When we seek the Lord
He will not hide
But like a father
He’ll draw near us
Arms open wide
Come let us return to the Lord
And He will heal us
Confess our sin to the Lord
And He will restore us
For He longs for us to know Him
And to offer Him our lives
Yeah
For the Lord our God
Is on our side
And His mercy is upon us
When we seek the Lord
He will not hide
But like a father
He’ll draw near us
For the Lord our God
Is on our side
And His mercy is upon us
When we seek the Lord
He will not hide
But like a father
He’ll draw near us
Near us
For the Lord our God
Is on our side
And His mercy is upon us
When we seek the Lord
He will not hide
But like a father
He’ll draw near us
(Repeat)
Arms open wide
