Coming Home Lyrics

I hear you

You're speaking to me now

My father's voice is cutting

Through the hunger and the doubt

You call me

To get up from the ground

Son I haven't slept

I need to know you're safe and sound

I can't think

Of what I would say

I know I've broken your heart

In every single way

I used to hail from the house of a king

Have I gone and thrown away

Every single thing?

Father I've let you down

I don't know if you'll have me

But I'm coming home

Yeah I'm coming home

I'm not finished yet

The world has tried to kill me off

But the Lord

He won't let me die just yet

Going back I'm dragging my feet

All these thoughts of what I've done

have come to hound on me

I've got nothing to hide

All this dirt on me could tell you

What it's like inside

Will it be worth it?

What if I get there and my father

Says he don't want me

Even then I deserve it

I'll just tell my father

That I'll even work for free

I hope we can work it out

But right now I just know that

I'm coming home

Yeah I'm coming home

I'm not finished yet

The world has tried to kill me off

But the Lord

He won't let me die just yet

I see him from a distance

About a mile that's left to go

I can see that he's been waiting

In the hopes that I might show

My father's eyes meet mine

And they start to overflow

He's got the biggest smile I've ever seen

And without a second

He starts running

And he just keeps running

My God he's running

I didn't see this coming

I don't deserve this loving

Though I look unbecoming

My God he's running

My King is running

He's running to me!

He grabs me

and he kisses me

And says Son!

I'm just glad you're home!

My son is home!

He's back from the dead!

The world had tried to kill me off

but the Lord he made me a king again
