Take Me Home

I've been everything that I want to be.

I've seen everything that I want to see.

All over this world I did roam.

Now, I'm asking you, Jesus, please take me home.

I can hear my spirit within me groan.

I wan to be sitting at the foot of Your throne.

I've had my fill of pain and misery.

Father, take me across that crystal sea.

Often Satan has tricked me with his black arts.

I've many a scar from his fiery darts.

The evening sun is setting low.

Send the chariot, Lord, I'm ready to go.

When it comes to battles, I've lost a few,

But you've always been there faithful and true.

Now I want to gaze in Your loving face

In that place built by Your grace.

I know my character you want to hone.

I'm just weary and feeling so alone.

If you keep me here, I'll understand.

Just give me strength to be a righteous man.
