Have you hungered in the wilderness For a peace that your heart knew before Have you wandered, finding something less When inside you were longing for more If you remember how it used to be When you lived your life more abundantly Come home, come home If you're tired and weary, come home The Father is waiting to welcome His own And you've been gone so long You've been gone so long Come home You've been searching since you said goodbye Like a child with a lesson to learn But there's mercy in the Father's eyes As He waits for the day you return And it won't matter where your heart has been
When He holds you close in His arms again Come home, come home If you're tired and weary, come home The Father is waiting to welcome His own And you've been gone so long Come home Oh, why do you keep running From the one who loves you most So far from where you know you want to be Patiently He's waiting 'Cause He wants to hold you close Even now He's calling, softly and tenderly Come home, come home If you're tired and weary, come home The Father is waiting to welcome His own And you've been gone so long You've been gone so long Come home
