"Come Back Home" ~School of Worship


To all the weak the meek the poor, I am knocking at your door
To you who search for one more high, Embrace the cross on which I died
To you who sell yourself for love, But never look up above
Your worth is found in something more, a God you've never seen before
I paid for you to enter in, So let the work of grace begin

Come now I will take you as you are, you have never gone too far
My mercy still remains
My love has broken every chain, you will never be the same
Dear child please come back home

To you who think that all is lost, that life is far to much a cost
To all with razors in the dark, the scars go deep within the heart
To you who strive pursue and fight, but nothing seems to turn out right
I hope that you can understand, what you're searching for is in my hands
I paid for you to enter in, So let the work of grace begin

Come now I will take you as you are, you have never gone too far
My mercy still remains
My love has broken every chain, you will never be the same
Dear child please come back home
Come back home

Love is lost in a sea so brilliantly, tossed around and mocked
By the soldiers by the families who were at the cross
Women children men and thieves, harlots dying and in need
Love is cheap, you can buy it on the streets as drunken men walk by
Refusing life and drinking bitter wine to end their strife
With the women who have said that their love to them is dead
But God is strong and He will heal the hearts of all who come to sing His song
Jesus Christ is Lord of all, and He has reconciled the fall
Of all man with His own life, with the blood that paid the price
Yeah his blood has paid the price, Jesus' blood has paid the price to redeem
Come now I will take you as you are, you have never gone too far
My mercy still remains
My love has broken every chain, you will never be the same
Dear child please come back home
Come back home

  1. Never heard that song before... I like it though...

    Had an interesting conversation with a co-worker yesterday. It made me think... We talked about how sometimes even when we want something to work out one way, even if we pray about it every single day and think about it non stop, it doesn't always work out. I know you're not much of one for country, but there's a song called Unanswered Prayers sung by Garth Brooks. My coworker was saying that there had been quite a few instances in is life recently where he really wanted something to turn out one way, then it wouldn't. He questioned why God wouldn't let those things be if it would make him happy.

    This is where I question things. Does God make these choices far ahead of time? I know we talked a little bit about whether we have a say in our lives, and that's kind of where I've come back to. What are your thoughts? Have you thought about this any more since we last talked?

    We need to get together again soon. Let me know what days you work for the next two weeks and I'll see if I can bring in a batch of cookies on my way to work. Opening hours would be better than closing... Lately I haven't gotten off work until 10:30- 11:30 PM...

    Take care of yourself big brother. Hope to hear from you soon. Seeing your face would be better but I'll take whichever comes first. *hugs* -Kat
