Yesterday

[Intro: S.O.]
You know what, man
I was talking to my friend the other day right
I told her that I want to go back to yesterday, today

[Verse 1: S.O.]
Uh, yesterday was as good as it gets, not full of regrets
You're right you woulda guessed I was moving in steps
Ordained by the Father, studied and I prayed if I may interject my study was on the way
I was depraved now I'm living in grace home
Let His light shine, it's sunny and grace know
I didn't write rhymes though I felt close to Him
I'm alive in the Spirit no boast in skin
See my eyes in the mirror they are close to dim
'Cos its late though if you redeemed say so
And so I do – I'm in tune with the truth that Noah knew
So yesterday is the day that I'm going to
Or at least I need to be there
Yesterday the memory just seems clear and so I sit here with nothing really left to say
Except, can you take me back to yesterday I guess

[Hook]
Oh Lord, I've been here before
One day things are great and my mind is on the cross – that was yesterday
Yesterday is where I need to be again, we were close with no pretense so I pray oh oh
Can you take me back to yesterday (where there was peace, there was joy, there was hope, there was love, there was us)
Can you take me back to yesterday, My God (where there was peace, there was joy, there was hope, there was love, there was us)
Can you take me back to yesterday (where there was peace, there was joy, there was hope, there was love, there was us)
Can you take me back to yesterday (where there was peace, there was joy, there was hope, there was love, there was us)
My God, My God

[Verse 2: S.O.]
I studied the word with the right etiquette, felt like Jim Elliot
Eyes on He who died the cross of Christ
Singing songs to the Son who restored my life
I'm at one with One who endured the stripes
The ransom was paid, the Lamb who was slain was ample to save
I'm amped for the King, huh yesterday I would stand and proclaim
Me and Will we prayed for the youth
I mean it I cried for lost souls in the coupe
The scene that I tried to paint better than the one I know
I read Romans 8's letters just to comfort my soul, I know it's nostalgia but them odd hours
Yesterday is when I knew my Lord's power
Ain't nothing really left to say except, can you take me back to yesterday I guess

[Hook]
Oh Lord, I've been here before
One day things are great and my mind is on the cross – that was yesterday
Yesterday is where I need to be again, we were close with no pretense so I pray oh oh
Can you take me back to yesterday (where there was peace, there was joy, there was hope, there was love, there was us)
Can you take me back to yesterday, My God (where there was peace, there was joy, there was hope, there was love, there was us)
Can you take me back to yesterday (where there was peace, there was joy, there was hope, there was love, there was us)
Can you take me back to yesterday (where there was peace, there was joy, there was hope, there was love, there was us)
My God, My God

[Verse 3: S.O.]
This day known as the present don't feel like a gift at all
Wish the walls had words they could speak my wrong
My mind couldn't do it heart leaked my fall
I lied that I was fine but was least involved
In my time the bottom line is, I fall for women who flutter eyelids
And I'm sitting down with Alex and I tell him I just wanna be pure Hear my heart's cry Lord, I just wanna be Yours
And that's what I wanna be, eternally secure in Your arms take all of me
But what I see and feel is me being distant
It's different in the fields but the seams of the mistress stay the same
Ain't it plain what I need, yesterday
But today's what I see what's left in me
Ain't nothing really left to say except
Can You take me back to yesterday I guess

[Hook]
Oh Lord, I've been here before
One day things are great and my mind is on the cross – that was yesterday
Yesterday is where I need to be again, we were close with no pretense so I pray oh oh
Can you take me back to yesterday (where there was peace, there was joy, there was hope, there was love, there was us)
Can you take me back to yesterday, My God (where there was peace, there was joy, there was hope, there was love, there was us)
Can you take me back to yesterday (where there was peace, there was joy, there was hope, there was love, there was us)
Can you take me back to yesterday (where there was peace, there was joy, there was hope, there was love, there was us)
My God, My God
