On my way home


On this sojourn
On this course
From the day we are born
We seek our source

On this journey
As we pray
A light we cannot see
Will light our way

For there’s wisdom we need
And the way to be freed
From distractions that pull us apart
As we fall on our face
Into rhythms of grace
We will find the true beat of our heart

For our prayers are a longing
To know we are known
And that we are belonging
To desires not our own
There's One who declares us
As righteous and just
Who renews and repairs us
So in Him we shall trust

So on this quest
On this long road
Receive what is best
Leave behind that old load

For there is a blessing
In the straight narrow path
And the heart’s that’s confessing
Shall be spared the wrath

For there’s wisdom we need
And the way to be freed
From distractions that pull us apart
As we fall on our face
Into rhythms of grace
We will find the true beat of our heart

For our prayers are a longing
To know we are known
And that we are belonging
To desires not our own
There's One who declares us
As righteous and just
Who renews and repairs us
So in Him we shall trust
