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 home
