"This Is The Return" - The New Year Message of Samuel Godfrey George, 2011

Now is the time to return to my Lord. I have been away for a long time. Now I will return to the child that I once was and to the dream that I once had and to the longing that came from the dream. Again I shall long to see the face of my God, and this time I shall not relent. Not only will I see His face, I will also dwell in His house forever secure in His arms.

Flesh loosens its hold. Earthly pleasures betray emptiness. The wandering begins to cease. The Spirit asserts authority. Finally I turn toward my goal. I walk into arms that are extended forever. In that embrace dwells a love that will never end. The time of the devil is over. Now God reigns in my life.
This is the return.

Return the rage, return the fire,
Return the madness of the child.
Come back my dream, come back my King,
The early promise come alive.
Speak out my tongue, lash out the Truth,
Nail the the chosen one to the cross.
Blot out the world, dim out its cry,
Draw me deep into your fire.
Come back my Lord, come back my God,
Come back my sweet Jesus Christ.

- Samuel Godfrey George
