Home again
Please allow me to explain
Where I've been all this time.
I saw the world
On my TV
Forgot my individuality
Set Your words aside
And opened up a magazine.
Here I am
Home again
Will you open up Your door
Even though I haven't been knocking lately?
Here I am
Home again
Sitting on Your porch
Swinging, dreaming, reading
Smiling to myself
I'm ready to look you in the eye again.
I know I turned away
But that was so many yesterdays ago
I'm ready to look you in the eye
And join my daddy in the sky.
So will You open up the door
Though I haven't been knocking lately?
Did You weep when I ignored Your call?
O please, Lord
Open up the door
Because I'm standing here
Crying without You
Waiting through the rain for You
I'll overcome the rain for You
And Your approval.
'Cause You always open up the door
To sinners like me
I was a stranger before
But You let me in, let me see
Lord, I stepped inside Your house
And I'll believe forever
'Cause when I fall
You open up the door.
So here I am
Home again
Lord.
