    LYRICS:
    I have returned to the God of my childhood,
    To the same simple faith as a child I once knew;
    Like the prodigal son I have longed for my loved ones,
    For the comforts of home and the God I outgrew.
    I have returned to the God of my childhood,
    Bethlehem's Babe, the prophet's Messiah;
    He's Jesus to me, Eternal Deity;
    Praise His name, I have returned.
    I have returned to the God of my mother,
    With unfailing faith for the child of her heart;
    She said bring them up the way that you want them,
    Thank God when they're grown, they'll never depart.
    I have returned to the God of my mother,
    I learned at her knee He's the lily of the valley;
    He's Jesus to me, Eternal Deity;
    Praise His name, I have returned.
    I have returned to the God of my father,
    The most God-like man a child could know;
    I just heard a shout from the angels in glory,
    Praising the Lord a child has come home.
    I have returned to the God of my father,
    Creator of heaven and earth, God of the universe;
    He's Jesus to me, Eternal Deity;
    Praise His name, I have returned.
    I have returned to the Yahweh of Judah,
    On my knees I did fall where the wall now stands;
    This lesson I learned as I've worked my way homeward,
    The Saviour of all is a comfort to man.
    I have returned to the Father of Abraham,
    The shepherd of Moses who called Him the great I am;
    He's Jesus to me, Eternal Deity;
    Praise His name, I have returned.
