Five Steps Forward, Ten Steps Back

I'm tired of searching for ways to move forward
I'm tracing my steps, you're nowhere to be found
I can only see where I've been not where I'm supposed to be

If only there were someone to guide me
If only I could be brought back home
With everything I have left inside of me
I want to stand before your throne
I never should have left

Cause every time I get so close to you I always lose my way
And all the time you spend chasing me
I spend wasting it away
And all the grace you've poured out to me
Though the cup I drink is broken
You say "it's not too late my son"

I know you're weary from searching for ways to move on
Tracing your steps but I'm right beside you
If only you could see the future that I have planned for you
I know you're stranded with nowhere to turn to
I'll do my best to keep you right on track
If only you could see how I'm guiding your every move

If only there were someone to guide me
If only I could be brought back home
With everything I have left inside of me
I want to stand before your throne
Come back home

Cause every time I get so close to you I always lose my way
And all the time you spend chasing me
I spend wasting it away
And all the grace you've poured out to me
Though the cup I drink is broken
You say "it's not too late my son"
No it's not too late
It's not too late
It's not too late
It's never too late

No one ever said that this would be easy!
I wish I knew you were right beside me
In this world I'm surrounded by enemies
In this fight your arms are holding me

Cause every time I get so close to you I always lose my way
And all the time you spend chasing me
I spend wasting it away
And all the grace you've poured out to me
Though the cup I drink is broken
You say "it's not too late my son"
No it's not too late
It's not too late
It's not too late
It's never too late
