(Soft piano chords building into a warm organ swell)
Lord, I’ve wandered far from Your home,
Chasing the neon lights of this world.
I thought I’d find my joy out there,
But I only found a hollow heart.
I walked away from the Father’s house,
Searching for glitter in the pouring rain.
Everything I thought I wanted,
Turned into nothing but shadow and pain.
I was bound by the chains of my own mistakes,
Lost on a road that lead nowhere new.
My spirit was weary, my heart was breaking,
So I’m calling out to You, Jesus, true.
Bring me back home, Oh Father,
I’m tired of the ways of this world.
Wash my heart in the living water,
By the blood of Jesus, let it be unfurled.
Bring me back home, Oh Father,
I want to sit at Your table once more.
Set me free, Jesus, set me free,
Make me brand new, just like before.
(Praise Him, yes Lord!)
I was like a prisoner behind the walls,
Bound by the weight of my yesterday.
People looked away and they let me fall,
But You, Jesus, You stayed the whole way.
You spoke a word and the darkness shattered,
My spirit woke up, the chains hit the floor.
I found the peace that I thought I lost,
Restored in the light, I’m not lost anymore.
Bring me back home, Oh Father,
I’m tired of the ways of this world.
Wash my heart in the living water,
By the blood of Jesus, let it be unfurled.
Bring me back home, Oh Father,
I want to sit at Your table once more.
Set me free, Jesus, set me free,
Make me brand new, just like before.
I’m never going back to the life I knew,
I’ve got my hands on the cross, I’m holding on tight.
If I stumble, Lord, reach out Your hand,
Lead me through the valley, into the light.
If I feel like I’m sinking, You pull me through,
Your grace is the anchor, my strength is in You.
Bring me back home, Oh Father,
I’m tired of the ways of this world.
Wash my heart in the living water,
By the blood of Jesus, let it be unfurled.
Bring me back home, Oh Father,
I want to sit at Your table once more.
Jesus said, "You are forgiven,"
Now I’ll spend my life singing of Your grace.
I’ve come back home, Father…
I’ve come back home to stay.
Thank You, Jesus.
I am Yours. Amen.
