Larnelle Harris - I Want To Go lyrics

Brought up in the church against your will Forced to sit through sermons and be still Making trouble for the Sunday school teacher running through the pews Just a child and you were wide eyed and confused Screaming on the bus with all the youth And more concerned with dating than with truth Too cool to join the choir, too smart to go school Church was boring and the scriptures just more rules But all through the years your open eyes and ears Saw just enough of Christ among the people here To know what you could trust, to know that you were loved Until there came the day your heart could finally say I want to go where You were going, Lord I want to be among Your people where You are I cannot live my life alone, I don't know how But You would not bring me this far to leave me now Finally off to college for the fall Fifty different lifestyles down one hall Your professors question everything, your roommates test your faith And easy answers seam so out of place Running from the chapel with your spouse And making monthly payments on the house You were living for your children and they up and moved away Your friends seem older and worry fills your days But all through the years your open eyes and ears Saw just enough of Christ among the people here To know what you could trust, to know that you were loved Until there came the day your heart could finally pray I want to go where You are going, Lord I want to be among Your people where You are I cannot live my life alone, I don't know how But You would not bring me this far to leave me now You would not bring me this far to leave me now
