Take me back to the time when I first believed
Way back to the day I first fell to my knees
Take me back
Take me back to the water where you washed me clean
From my sin, from my trouble, from my sorrow, from my pain
Take me back
Back to my roots
Back to my roots
Take me back to the altar where I first saw the light
Where I laid down all my burdens and I gave you all my life
Take me back
Back to the day my soul was saved from the life I used to live
Momma prayed I'd never stray and I'm thankful that she did
Take me back
Back to my roots
Back to my roots
Back to my roots
Back to my roots
