Back in the Fold Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Lord I know how long you′ve waited for me to come back home
'Cause I know how long I was gone
But Lord I never knew until I lost sight of you
Just how lonely I could be on my own

Now I′m back in the fold, back in the fold
Knowing sweet Jesus that you're in control
No longer apart at last I am home
Lord it feels so good to be back in the fold


There's nothing sadder in all creation than a soul in isolation
Away from the sound of God′s voice
But there′ll be no time for tears Lord I've paid for my lost years
All I want now is to sing and rejoice

′Cause I'm back in the fold, back in the fold
Knowing sweet Jesus that you′re in control
No longer apart at last I am home
Lord it feels so good to be back in the fold

Back in the fold, back in the fold
Knowing sweet Jesus that you're in control
No longer apart at last I am home
Lord it feels good to be back in the fold.
