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
