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

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

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

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
Oh, 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
Oh I want to go to go
I want to to, I want to go
Yeah I want to go to church
Oh I want to go to church
