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
