Church (Take Me Back)

There was a time that I swore I would never go back
I was blind to the truth, didn′t know what I had
I was running, I was searchingBut every place I turned for healing
Left me more broken than the last

Take me back
To the place that feels like home
To the people I can depend on
To the faith that's in my bones
Take me back
To a preacher and a verse
Where they′ve seen me at my worst
To the love I had at first
Oh, I want to go to church

Tried to walk on my own but I wound up lost
Now I'm making my way to the foot of the cross
It's not a trophy for the winners
It′s a shelter for the sinners
And it′s right where I belong

Take me back
To the place that feels like home
To the people I can depend on
To the faith that's in my bones
Take me back
To a preacher and a verse
Where they′ve seen me at my worst
To the love I had at first
Oh, I want to go to church
I want to go to church

Oh, more than an obligation
It's our foundation
The family of God
I know it′s hard
But we need each other
We're sisters and brothers

Oh, take me back
To the place that feels like home
To the people I can depend on
To the faith that′s in my bones
Take me back
To a preacher and a verse
Where they've seen me at my worst
To the love I had at first
Oh, I want to go to church

Yeah, I want to go to church (take me back)
Oh, I want to go, want to go, I want to go
Oh, I want to go to church (take me back)
Oh, I want to go to church
