"I Want To Come Home"

“I Want To Come Home”

A man walks toward a chair

Sees a woman sitting there

Looks at her and asks for some change

She looks at him, and gives a smile

Asks him if he can sit a while

And tells him of a love that will never change

Tears well up in his eyes

He lets go of the past and cries

And tells her of his quest for a home

With a broken heart he offers a prayer

And he sees Jesus standing there

He looks in his eyes and all the pain is gone

He says,

“I’m still waiting to come Home –

I’m still waiting to come Home

Lord, help me!

Lord, help me!

Lord, help me! – I want to come Home!”

Jesus holds him in his arms

Chases away all that have done him harm

Tells him, “child, you’re always welcome Home.”

The doors of Heaven are opened wide

The man realizes – this is his true Home

He smiles and says,

“I finally have come Home –

I finally have come Home

You’ve helped me!

You’ve helped me!

You’ve helped me!

Lord, you’ve helped me! – I’m so glad to be Home!”
