I'M Calling All Backsliders

I’m calling all Backsliders 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.
