Story Behind The Song
Juli (co writer) wanted a Jodie Messsina type of "driving down a country road with the wind in my hair and leaving my troubles behind" type of song. Asked if I could come up with a song about turning my life around and giving it back to Jesus. God gave me this tune and she helped me clean it up.
Song Description
Song about a lot of hard lessons which made me re-think how I had been doing things. It also discusses the gratitude and joy in letting Jesus take over as Lord of my life. It's not some new phase I'm going through, but a real life transformation.

Lyrics
My life was crazy looking back, I must have been insane
I'd try anything if only it would numb the pain
But then I hit rock bottom and I knew
There was only one way out of this
Only one thing I could do
Chorus
I'm turning my life around
I was lost but now I'm found
This is not a phase I'm going through
I'm taking a different path
I'm running and I won't look back
I lay my burdens at you feet
You have made my life complete
So, I'll just make this short and sweet
Yeah, I'm coming back to You
I thought I'd never heal from all the pain he put me through
He took my heart and left the remnants of it on his shoe
But You are faithful in everything You do
And there is nothing that compares to the love I have in You
Chorus
bridge:
I thought I could do this on my own
Doubting that Your promises were real
But You've shown me a love I've never known
Now, I'm riding down this road called life
With Jesus at the wheel
Chorus repeat
Tag
Yeah, I lay my burdens at Your feet
Cause You have made my life complete
So I'll just make this short and sweet
I'm coming back, coming back, coming back...
I'm coming back to you
