Here I am just a poor man Made poorer still by the knowledge of the riches I have squandered Oh, I've wandered - I stand convicted Even knowing that the deepest of my wounds were mostly self-inflicted Where did my heart go? Where have I been? You opened my eyes to the darkness and lies And I shut them again And I want to go home to my Father I want to be part of where my heart says I belong I want to wash my weary soul in living water I've been away, way, too long - I want to go home Out on the bound'ries of my freedom I was lookin' for fences that would keep me in, and I found there were none Only your sweet love, Lord And, fool that I've been You broke the chains of my heartache and pain
And I forged them again And I want to go home to my Father I want to be part of where my heart says I belong I want to wash my weary soul in living water I've been away, way, too long - I want to go home Jesus, Lord, please help me, I'm so full of regret It's so hard to forgive myself, Lord, and it's harder to forget I need you to hold me and heal me I need you to mold me and steel me By the power of your Word to be the son You've called me to be And I want to go home to my Father I want to be part of where my heart says I belong I want to wash my weary soul in living water I've been away, way, too long - I want to go home I've been away, way, too long - I want to go home
