When there is no soul-searching, is the soul still there?

Tired of Me, Longing for You

I'm tired of the sound of my own voice 
And I'm weary of adding to the noise 
And I'm fearful of missing the point of it all 

I remember the way it used to be 
The way this love felt like the first day of spring 
And I want this back more than anything in the world 

It's as cold as winter in my veins 
And I long to feel the summer rain 
Can you take me back to where it all began? 

Jesus I come, come to you again 
Just like it was the first time 
I came to you for new life 
I need you now, as much as I did then 
I need a new beginning 
So Jesus I am coming 
For the first time again 

I'm jaded from all that I have seen 
I'm bitter, but I don't want to be 
I'm believing, can you help my unbelief? 

Sometimes I think I know too much 
But even then it's not enough 
Can you take me back so I can move ahead? 

Take me deep inside the grace that forgets 
Instead of down the well worn path of my regrets 
I'm older than I've ever been 
Can you take me back and make me new again? 

Cause I need you now, as much as I did then...
