When you came to me
The Angels did shout
I put a block on the enemy,
And to hurt you I wouldn't allow
I took you under my arms to
Shield and protect you from harm
And all the comfort you needed,
You could find it in my arms
I wiped away your tears all
The nights you sat and cried
I gently took my finger and
Dried your weeping eyes.

I listen to all your problems and
Had compassion in my heart
And now you turn your back
To me, pulling me apart.
I’m calling all backsliders
To come back home
I don’t care what you did;
I forgive you for your wrong

I’m calling all backsliders
To come back and live
All my riches and
Love I have to give
I watched over you,
And refuse to let you go
My spirit followed you,
And this you failed to know.
I’ll be your shelter and
Never leave you alone,
I’m calling all backsliders to
Turn around and come back home.
