Verse One
You've been gone too long;
Think you've fallen too far
To ever hope to find a place you're not alone.
You've been gone so long;
Forgotten who you really are;
Far too lost to ever find your way back home.
You've been wounded to despair;
Beaten down so many times there's no more feeling there.
Though you're mired deep in shame
Still you long for someone just to know your name!
I know your name!
Chorus
Child, come home! Just come home!
I will love you where you are child, just come home!
Child, come home! Just come home!
Lay your burdens down! I love you!
Just come home!
Verse Two
You have so far in the sinking sand
And you never see a way to pulling free.
Drifted O, so far that you never see dry land
And the waves have grown too high to ever see.
I am right by your side.
I have always been here waiting through your darkest night.
If you'll let me take your hand
I will be a Solid Rock where your broken heart can stand!
Take my hand!
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
I will celebrate!
I will clothe you with forgiveness!
I will know you!
I will tell the heavens 'This child is my own!'
And I will celebrate your story!
Evidence of grace and glory!
I will love you where you are but I'll not leave you there!
I will never leave you there!
Repeat Chorus
