Can I come home?

Can I come home now Jesus? It seems I’ve been away a long time I got lost you see All the roads looked the same to me And the lights were never so dark and cold As when you weren’t there at my side Can I come home now Jesus? I’ve been very lonely without you There was no one to listen to my stories Or share my tears when I was sad I don’t know if you noticed Lord But your world is not very friendly For the poor you loved so much Can I come home now Jesus? I can’t promise to be perfect every day Or to remember to give thanks for your blessings Occasionally you’ll shake your head And wonder about me Or why I got into such a mess When you were there waiting to help me How could I forget the heavenly Father’s Enduring love for me? And when I do come home Jesus May I leave behind the fear that haunts me The voices telling me I am worthless The past that lives in my todays and tomorrows May I live your promise of peace and love When you open your arms And welcome me hom
