Thinking back when we first met
I remember what You said
You said You'd never leave me
But I let go of your hand
Build my castles in the sand
But now I'm reaching out again
And I'm not letting go 'till you...
Hold me, Mold me
Sometimes I feel so all alone
See, I gotta find my way Back Home
So why don't You Shape me, Make me
Wash me whiter than the snow
I gotta find my way... Back Home
Master upon my knees I pray
I just want to be the clay
Put your arms around me
Place my life in Your hands
Lord I know I'm just human
But you understand
This time I'm not letting go 'till You...
Hold me, Mold me
Sometimes I feel so all alone
See, I gotta find my way Back Home
So why don't You Shape me, Make me
Wash me whiter than the snow
I gotta find my way... Back Home
'Cause I'm lost and alone
I've been wandering long enough to know
Humbly I search for You
And I'm not gonna rest 'till You...
Choose me, Use me
Sometimes I feel so all alone
I am on my way Back Home
So why don't You Direct me, Bless me
Wash me whiter than the snow
I am on my way...
