RETURN
This song was written as "Return To Your First Love." Regrettably, I shortened the title to "Return", not wanting to give away the punch line in the title. Since then, I realized how insignificant this would have been and wish I had stuck with the longer title.
This song was a little more confrontational. It is directly based on a scripture, but the scenario was derived from the different things that I had personally experienced in my own walk and from observing some of the things that I heard other people say and do regarding their Christian walk. I think the main theme here is the shifting of blame.
It is a cynical or sarcastic look at some of the excuses we make to justify some of the failure in our Christian life instead of owning up to the real reason, which is that we've personally strayed from God. We tend to look for scapegoats, to try and pin the blame anywhere but on ourselves. I felt that it was a rather successful lyric, that rather bitingly confronted this issue. I'm sure that this reflected a personal need for this message in my own life as well. Chuck
