You Can Come Home

Loneliness overwhelmed me
Mercy became my plea
Drifting endlessly about
Filled with much fear and doubt

Too scared to go home
I continued far to roam
Forgiveness is not mine
Peace I will not find

I've traveled too many dark roads
Looking for my special abode
Father will not take me back
Sins against me; they do stack

In my hour of desperation
I heard a voice of consternation
Child you must go home today
before you forever lose your way

I fell to my knees in heartfelt prayer
Letting go of worry and despair
Father held wide His open arms
Come to me; where you're free from harm

You're always welcome to come home
Never more, do you need to roam
I am always willing to forgive
No matter the life that you have lived
