An emptiness inside me grows

A hunger like I've never known

Tears fall from my weary eyes

My soul is tired

Exhaustion seeps from every pore

I've come so far along this road

Lost on this, the wrong path to take

I know not where I am-

Only the deepest longing

A longing for the home I've yet to reach.



No more desires for earthly things

Now all I want, all I desire

Is to spend eternity on my knees

Worshiping the only One I need.



No one else would forgive my sins

No one else would give their life

Would shed their blood to save my soul-

Only He, my Lord, my King

Willingly gave His all for me.



Without Him I would surely die

Only with Jesus can I survive.



And so with that, my truth now told

I wonder, can I still come home?

Will He welcome me with open arms

Or turn away, ashamed of me?

For I admit, I am not worthy

Of His forgiveness, His everlasting love.



Tears still fall, within my soul

A heart, now scarred and torn

By my selfish ways, my countless sins

I realize I am the only one to blame.



Wearied by these thoughts and more

Lying here I close my eyes, begin to pray

I plead forgiveness, repenting my sins

Weeping until no tears are left.



And just before I drift off to sleep,

Inside my heart, I hear His voice

Reminding me of His love for me

And that no matter how far I stray,

He will always be there to welcome me home.
