Around the World and Back - Theocracy

Hey weary traveler, have you finally lost your way?

You 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 hope out of despair

Peel back the layers of 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

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

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

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
