Remember the time when I thought of letting go and taking back my hand
When all I could think was how long can I follow you
and where do I stand in this world
And when I thought I couldn?t go along,
God I?m not that strong to walk through the valley with you
And though it still remains a mystery what you see in me
You come back for me every time

Just like a soldier you battle for my soul
More like a Father you come and take me home

What is the worth of a man living for himself with a heart of his own
He comes to your table with his hands reaching out to you
Father, wont you please give me more
God, I?ve come to see your heart for me
How it breaks for me
To witness a son fall away
So come and take me as you see me now
Jesus show me how you claimed me to be by your side

Just like a soldier you battle for my soul
More like a Father you come and take me home

You placed your spirit inside of me
A love more consuming than I thought it could be
And I'll take this love, this holiest flame
And give up this fight
Lord I remember, I remember

Just like a soldier you battle for my soul
More like a Father you come and take me home
