The Song In My Head...

Home Tonight

I've come to my senses

How did I get so far from home

The lies dissipating

Revealing I'm so alone

And I remember now how strong love can be

And I wonder how did I ever leave

Burn your fire on the altar

Leave a candle on the porch

I'm still too far away to see it

But I'm aching for its warmth

And I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome

But still I hear your song inside

So sing it louder if you want me home tonight

Sing it loud now, 'cause I'm coming home tonight

This isn't the first time

I've wandered away from home before

You'd have every reason

To slam and dead-bolt the door

But I remember now how strong your love can be

And I wonder how you might welcome me

Burn your fire on the altar

Leave a candle on the porch

I'm still too far away to see it

But I'm aching for its warmth

And I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome

But still I hear your song inside

So sing it louder if you want me home tonight

Sing it loud now, 'cause I'm coming home tonight

Into your arms, to my back yard

Where I used to play

How I miss the days...

So burn your fire on the altar

Leave a candle on the porch

I'm still too far away to see it

But I'm aching for its warmth

And I'm so tired and cold and dark and lonesome

But still I hear your song inside

So sing it louder if you want me home tonight

Sing it loud now, 'cause I'm coming home tonight

There are times when I'm warmed by the fact that God never slams the door in my face. No matter how far I wander, I can always come home to open arms. It's at the very core of what it means to have been saved by grace. This song comforted me a great deal in march... For some reason, its playing in my heart this week. So I thought I'd share it with you all.

Many Blessings,
