Verse 1

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 searching
But every place I turned for healing
Left me more broken than the last

Chorus

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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

Bridge

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

Chorus

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

Outro

I want to go to church

Outro

I want to go
I want to go
Oh I want to go to church
Oh I want to go to church
